Rebuilt
Rebuilt: Rising from Ash, Seeking Justice in the Shadows
Lyrics
Like shadows in the night
Comparing oneself to shadows that pass unnoticed in the darkness.
No screams but for my own
Expressing pain or distress without external witnesses.
And I was left alone
Left isolated and abandoned.
Alone
Emphasizing the feeling of being alone.
Revenge is easy but I've got a higher cause
Choosing a morally superior path despite the temptation of revenge.
Can't let off anybody
Not allowing anyone to escape accountability.
I won't forgive, I won't forget your broken laws
Refusing to pardon or overlook violations of justice.
Rebuilt from ash to do what's right
Being rebuilt from destruction with the aim of doing what's morally right.
Had me on my knees
Being brought to a vulnerable position.
Shattered pieces of forgotten pleas
Feeling fragmented and disregarded appeals for help.
On the ground, in the dirt
Metaphorically lying in a helpless and degraded state.
Helpless, beaten, broken, hurt
Feeling powerless, defeated, damaged, and in pain.
But no longer
No longer being in a vulnerable state; possessing strength.
Now I'm stronger than you
Asserting newfound strength surpassing the adversary.
Face me and you'll feel
Challenging the adversary to experience the force of retaliation.
I have kicks and punches made of steel
Metaphorically possessing strength equivalent to steel.
Soaring high, in the air
Feeling elevated and superior in confrontation.
Higher than you'll ever dare
Undertaking risks greater than those dared by the adversary.
I'm unbending
Being unyielding and steadfast.
Your long reign is ending now
Declaring the imminent end of the adversary's dominance.
The sense of wrong and right
Contemplating the fluctuating nature of morality.
Could all change overnight
Suggesting the potential for moral standards to change suddenly.
We cannot answer for
Being unaccountable for the wrongs one ignores or neglects.
The evils we ignore
Consequences of overlooking or disregarding immoral actions.
I saw it fade to black
Witnessing a situation deteriorate or turn negative.
I'll make you feel your guilt
Determined to make the adversary feel remorseful or culpable.
For I have been rebuilt
Asserting the state of being reconstructed or rejuvenated.
REBUILT
Emphasizing the state of being "rebuilt."
Revenge is easy but I've got a higher cause
Reiterating the commitment to a higher moral objective.
Can't let off anybody
Reasserting the accountability for actions taken.
I won't forgive, I won't forget your broken laws
Reaffirming the stance of not pardoning transgressions against justice.
Rebuilt from ash to do what's right
Rebuilding from devastation to uphold righteousness.
Revenge is easy but I've got a higher cause
Stressing the moral cause over an easy path of revenge.
Can't let off anybody
Insisting on holding everyone accountable for their actions.
I won't forgive, I won't forget your broken laws
Reiterating the refusal to pardon or overlook violations of justice.
Rebuilt from ash to do what's right
Emphasizing the reconstruction after devastation to pursue what is morally right.
