lyrics

You’ve got oh so many scars
Craters and lava trails
They're the essence of who you are
They tell your tale
You come from a volatile time
And from a violent place
It is not your fault
But you must confront it just the same
Cuz there’s only energy to blame

You’ve got a fiery, fierce and passionate core
And you’re the smallest of all but you’ve got something more
All cuz you’ve been through desolation, hell and war
You survived, so victory’s yours
And in the end all these bruises and wounds
Not just what you live through but what you live for

Your surface is almost as dark as your sky
No colors in sight
That’s not who you are
That’s not what’s inside
Your heart’s a perpetual flame
That shifts your tectonic plates
Still to this day
You still go through constant change
Cuz the comets can’t rupture your faith

You’ve got a fiery, bold and powerful core
And you’re a little small but you’ve got something more
All cuz you’ve been through desolation, hell and war
You’ve endured, so victory’s yours
And in the end all these craters and scars
Not just what you live through but what you live for

I’ve survived through it all
Every stone the universe has to throw
For a billion years so far
And I will for a billion more

I’ve, I’ve made it this far
With a billion years of scars to show
But none can penetrate my core
And so I’ll live for a billion more
