[Intro]
Whispers in the alleys, where shadows learned my name
A seven-year echo, a heartbeat burned aflame
[Verse 1]
In Rangoon’s dim corridors I walked with steady breath
The Burmese flame inside me lit the pace of death and birth
It carved a compass on my chest, a map of inner fire
Survival as the blade I wore, a double-edged desire
[Chorus]
This flame is my witness, this flame is my guide
It guards my scattered memories, it testifies I’m alive
Yet every spark recalls the faces that slipped away
A memory seared in emberlines, refusing to decay
[Verse 2]
Freedom’s memory fractured, like glass under sun and rain
The fire kept me standing, but fevered the name I’ve kept in chains
I learned to barter courage for the quiet of the night
To breathe through the scorch and hope that dawn would mend the spite
[Pre-Chorus]
Courage hums beneath the skin, a pulse that won’t resign
Through walls and whispers, I rewrite the line
[Chorus]
This flame is my witness, this flame is my guide
It guards my scattered memories, it testifies I’m alive
Yet every spark recalls the faces that slipped away
A memory seared in emberlines, refusing to decay
[Bridge]
If light is a memory, then I am its flame
I carry the scorch as proof of the name I claim
To walk beyond the bars of time, beyond the sigh of rain
To bloom where pain once whispered, and never be the same
[Chorus]
This flame is my witness, this flame is my guide
It guards my scattered memories, it testifies I’m alive
Yet every spark recalls the faces that slipped away
A memory seared in emberlines, refusing to decay
[Outro]
Seven years, a shadow’s fire, a life redefined by flame
I walk now with the light inside, a survivor’s honest name
