Step back

Step back
Guardian
You feel that chill in the room
Name carved deep in the dust
Victor
I’m staring at you

You thought you hid in the light
I move in corners you missed
Power pressed into my palms
Heat in the curl of my fist


I lean on strength
Strong
Strong
Stronger
I taste that fear
Linger a little longer


Step back
Guardian
Release the deliverer now
Let my will fall heavy on him
I won’t bow
I won’t bow
All this power in my hands
I can take it
I can give it somehow
Step back
Guardian
Release the deliverer now


Thousands behind my eyes
Dark in the dark of the deep
Business burning his name
I lay that weight in his sleep

My word cuts close to the bone
Matters bend
They break
They turn
Every choice he tries to make
I feel it twist
I feel it burn


To be and not to be
Both sit quiet in my palm
Storm inside the silence
Wild beneath the calm

It stays in my power
I keep
I hand it away
At wil
At will
At will
I decide how this plays
