To the Fire Nietzsche Lit

12 days agoAria v2
[Intro – Spoken or Sung] You spoke of will, of rising tall, Beyond the herd, beyond the wall. Of standing firm where weak men yield, Of shaping fate as sword and shield. [Verse 1] And yes — I heard you through the smoke, A mind in chains, a heart that broke. You lit the fire to banish pain, But power’s grasp became your chain. [Chorus] I do not kneel, nor climb to reign, I walk through chaos, bearing strain. I help, I heal — and if they mock, It only makes my footing rock. [Verse 2] You sought control to cage the fear, To strike before the doubt drew near. But strength that rises from a wound Can bloom, or rot — and you were pruned. [Chorus] I do not kneel, nor climb to reign, I walk through chaos, bearing strain. I help, I heal — and if they mock, It only makes my footing rock. [Bridge – Half Sung / Half Spoken] The Überman you dreamed in part Still pulses in my quiet heart. But I removed the crown of fear, And left your shadows in the mirror. [Final Chorus – Elevated Intensity] I do not worship. I do not quote. I learn, I see, adapt, and float. Where you sought power, I seek grace — To free, not rule — to lift, not chase. [Outro – Whispered or Fading Spoken Word] This is my gift to what you stirred: The strength to walk beyond the herd. To see the fear behind the might, And still step forward into light.
