Defiance of the gods

 Defiance 


In realms where spirits roam and soar,

I'll voice my rage, uncloak my roar 

Why take my wings, in flight to bind,

A heart that quivers, frail, confined


Your cosmic hand, the puppeteer’s guise 

Weaving fates under boundless skies 

Yet fail to sense the human pain,

In life's great dance, a cruel disdain.


I'll scale the stairs to heaven's gate,

Or plunge to hells, both love and hate.

To meet you there, no fear, no wane 

To claim what’s due, to break your chains 


You play with lives as toys on strings 

You fail to grasp the pain it brings 

To you, we are but pawns to move

A chess board, our worth you disapprove 


Don’t hide behind celestial doors

Or flee to hell desolate moors 

I’ll challenge Fate, my will unswayed 

Refuse your script, the rules remade 


With courage drawn from depth unseen 

I’ll stand before you, pure and keen 

My heart is forged from steel and flame 

I’m tired of playing your petty game 


For my own destiny, I hold the key

While you shrink, your realms debris 

My fiery wings stretched, unfurled 

Behold the Human shaping his New World
