Concrete ceilings cracking heavy on the chest
Breathing through the gravel putting courage to the test
Ribcage rattling shadows swallow up the floor
Dragging through the mud kicking down the iron door
I’m pacing in the panic trapped inside a rusted cell
Every single memory is ringing like a bell
Why the sky is closing why the pavement’s turning black
Why the weight of living keeps on pushing me right back
Knuckles split and bleeding pounding on the hollow wall
Waiting for a phantom that will never take the call
I’m stitching up the fractures swallowing the bitter taste
Racing through the ruin while I’m running out of space
But the spark is in the ashes and it’s feeding on the dread
I’m mapping out the exit with a compass in my head
Every breath a battle every heartbeat is a drum
I refuse to be a victim I refuse to go numb
The walls are closing tighter but I’m sharpening the steel
(steel)
I’m stepping through the embers I’m refusing how to kneel
If the path is paved with razor wire I’ll carve it with my hands
I’m gathering the fragments and I’m making my own stand
(hold the line)
Step out the shadows march through the fire
Carry the weight but we never tire
Darkness is heavy we shatter the chain
Courage is bleeding we rise from the pain
Step out the shadows face down the night
Carry the burden step into light
Darkness is heavy we tear it apart
Courage is roaring we follow the spark
The walls are closing tighter but I’m sharpening the steel
(steel)
I’m stepping through the embers I’m refusing how to kneel
If the path is paved with razor wire I’ll carve it with my hands
I’m gathering the fragments and I’m making my own stand
(hold the line)
Step out the shadows march through the fire
Carry the weight but we never tire
Darkness is heavy we shatter the chain
Courage is bleeding we rise from the pain
Step out the shadows face down the night
Carry the burden step into light
Darkness is heavy we tear it apart
Courage is roaring we follow the spark
I watched the ceiling collapse but I didn’t run away
I stood inside the wreckage and I learned to own the day
Every scar is just a map every tear is just a spark
I’m carving out a highway when they leave me in the dark
The night is not a prison it’s a canvas for the blade
I’m slicing through the silence like a storm that never fades
I’m breathing in the thunder I’m exhaling out the fear
The phoenix in the ashes is the only thing that’s clear
So let the ground be shaking let the heavy sky descend
I’m walking through the furnace with a fire that won’t bend
(never bend)
We’re breaking every boundary we’re tearing down the gate
The darkness is a doorway and it’s never too late
(watch it burn)
(no retreat)
Step out the shadows march through the fire
Carry the weight but we never tire
Darkness is heavy we shatter the chain
Courage is bleeding we rise from the pain
Step out the shadows face down the night
Carry the burden step into light
Darkness is heavy we tear it apart
Courage is roaring we follow the spark
Keep walking through the embers
Keep cutting through the cold
The night is just a chapter
The story’s ours to hold
We bleed into the daylight
We rise into the sun
The battle’s never over
But we’ve only just begun
(just begun)
(walk on)
