Scars & Armor (Pain 2)

Beneath the surface, a battle scarred soul 
A heart weathered, a spirit whole 
Each scar a lesson, a painful art 
Forged in the fire, a work of heart

Scars and armor, a shield and a sword 
Protecting the soul, a sacred hoard 
A testament to strength, a warrior's creed 
Rising from the ashes, a heroic deed

The weight of the world, a heavy load 
A weary traveler, on a winding road 
But with every fall, a lesson learned 
A stronger spirit, eternally burned

Scars and Armor, a shield and a sword 
Protecting the soul, a sacred hoard 
A testament to strength, a warrior's creed 
Rising from the ashes, a heroic deed

The pain may linger, the scars may show 
But the heart remains unbroken, a steadfast glow 
A phoenix rising, from the darkest night 
A symbol of hope, a beacon of light

Scars and armor, a shield and a sword 
Protecting the soul, a sacred hoard 
A testament to strength, a warrior's creed 
Rising from the ashes, a heroic deed
