[Intro
Is this my true life? Or just a wild fantasy?
Swept by the current, no escape from destiny.
Open your heart, look up at the stars and dream.
I'm just a poor girl, no one to shelter me.
Because I'm rise and fall, ebb and flow,
Sometimes high, sometimes low,
Any way the wind blows, doesn’t change what’s meant to be, to be.
[Verse 1
Mama, I’ve crossed a line,
Held the blade against the thread, cut the cord, and left it red.
Mama, I can’t rewind,
But I had to break these chains today.
Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry,
But if I’m gone by the next sunrise,
Carry on, carry on, let the past fall behind me.
[Verse 2
Too late, I’ve made my choice,
Feel the fire in my veins, hear the echo of my voice.
Goodbye, my friends, I’ve gotta go,
Gotta walk this road alone and find my truth.
Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows),
I don’t wanna lie,
But there are nights I wish I’d never been born at all.
[Operatic Section
I see a shadow dancing in the firelight,
Carmilla, Carmilla, will you haunt me through the night?
Thunderstorms are crashing, whispers in the ashes, see!
(Athena!) Athena! (Athena!) Athena!
Athena rising, victorious queen!
But I'm just a poor girl, with a rebel's plea,
She’s just a poor girl from the world’s cruelty.
Save her from the judgment of her history!
Storm will rise, tides will flow, will they let me go?
“Bismillah!” – “No, we will not let you go!”
(Let her go!) – “Bismillah!” – “We will not let you go!”
(Let her go!) – “Bismillah!” – “We will not let you go!”
(Let me go!)
Will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Will not let you go.
Never, never, never let you go!
Oh, my fire burns, my fire burns,
My fire burns, let me go!
Beelzebub, keep your chains far away from me, from me, from me!
[Rock Section
So you think you can crush me and break my soul?
So you think you can wound me and leave me cold?
Oh, darling, can’t do this to me, darling!
I’ve gotta rise up, I’ve gotta break free tonight!
[Outro
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, oh, yeah,
Nothing holds me down, now the stars align.
Nothing holds me down,
This moment is mine.
Any way the wind blows… sets me free.
