lyrics

I have tripped and fallen
Through the corridor
I can't see anything
So grip my hands and don't let go

I've never been here before
An eerie sound shivers my bones
Current rages through my spine
Hurting my nerves and
Frying my mind

I've seen caves with bats and
Survived our foes who saved us for last
I owe this to you for saving my life

Help me find this electric bird
I'll undo its wires
The six of you force 'em to leave this place behind

This legend will belong to me
I've come to know my own savage self
I found a weapon to melt your wings and burn your beak
He who greets with fire

I travelled the earth
Through the lightning storms of this world
Embraced the misery of
Those who want to enslave me
I won't give up, won't let you add to the scars I have
Now forget I exist
And let me remain a myth

I promise you, know that I'll keep
Collectors from the purging of your energy
My choice is I bow at her feet
Matriarch of electricity
A new insight to your destiny
To void your bleak life
In this place of travesty
I have learned how to cry
I let Z***** fly!

I, endeavour
Fly forever
Till life's in reach
I will never
Ever, ever
Want to watch you bleed
I know, this hell can't be undone
But you know, who
Set you free
