[music] >> I gave my life to the furnace. I suffered. I sacrificed. And I learned the truth nobody wants to [singing] learn. Fear only kills you until [music] you learn how to cook with it. Healing isn't soft. Healing is theft. Just steal your
power [music] back from the things that tried to bury you. So, I took the stage. And I siphoned lightning out [singing and music] of my pain. I turned my struggle into a weapon. I turned my wounds into a doctrine. I turned my losses into strength. If the
answer lives in the unknown, [music] would you still walk forward? If letting go didn't feel like dying, [music] would you finally reclaim what's yours? You'll never meet yourself until you walk alone on blind faith and broken bones. >> [music]
>> So, follow the light in your chest and don't be afraid of the dark. Will you follow [music] me to the place where love met destruction? Where doubt doesn't fade, it gets executed by trust you pour in daily. This isn't a cute motivational quote. [music] This is the law. You either surrender your dream or give everything you got.
You'll never meet yourself until you walk alone on blind faith [screaming] AND BROKEN BONES. SO, CARRY [music] THE [singing] torch in your chest and don't be afraid of the dark. >> [music] >> How much are you willing to bleed for what you believe? >> [music]
>> We can't see the end from the start, so stop demanding certainty. Stop negotiating with the shadow. >> [screaming]
>> Walk with me. From ash I rose unclaimed [music] and free. From the grave [singing] I rebuilt myself with the very hands that broke me. So, tear [music] me apart and look closer. You'll see the spine. See the heart. You'll see the blood in the dirt
where I refuse [music] to stay dead. You'll feel the rage, the hunger, the holy violence that feeds on hurt. Not to destroy, but to transform. Every scar is a badge. Every scar is a lesson. And it took me 20 [ __ ] years to learn every single one. And now I know I don't have to do this alone.
I was a creature with no country until I found a home inside the arms that DIDN'T FLINCH WHEN LIFE DRAINED THE LIFE [music and singing] FROM my chest. You pulled me out of the pit. I gave you everything. A lifeline made of [music] pieces of me. We still can't see the end from the start, but I don't fear the dark.
>> [music] >> Because the dark isn't evil. The dark is raw material. Dark inside purpose and passion. Sweat >> [music] >> and blood from Stockholm to Scranton. Fight or fear. Choose your religion. Rise from [music] the pages like you were written to survive.
>> [music]
>> Fear not the
>> [music] >> Fear the life you'll [singing] live if you don't mean it. You mean it. You'll make it. You mean [music] it. You'll make it.
