[Intro – Soft, atmospheric, building tension]
(Whispers, haunting synths)
You thought I’d stay quiet…
You thought I’d be tame…
But silence is a weapon, and now I know my name…
---
[Verse 1 – Melodic, storytelling begins]
I walked the line they drew for me
Barefoot in obedience, no room to breathe
Eyes down, heart caged, they called it grace
But I saw the sky in a shattered place
They told me “know your role”, stay small, be kind
But I found rage in the corners of my mind
Now the storm is mine to lead
No more chains — I was born to be free
---
[Pre-Chorus – Building energy, tension rising]
I’m done being the shadow behind their throne
I found the spark — now I stand alone
You can't unsee what I've become
I’m not your echo — I’m the drum
---
[Drop – First powerful drop, beat explodes]
(RISE! RISE!)
I rise like fire — burn it all away!
No more silence, no more cage
I rise like fire — tear the walls apart!
A brand new world, born from my heart
---
[Verse 2 – Stronger, determined tone]
I see the lies dressed up in gold
The myths they wrote, the power they stole
But I'm rewriting every rule
And I'm no longer playing the fool
They laughed when I said I wanted more
But I’m kicking down that rusted door
This voice was made to shake the ground
And I won’t stop until I'm found
---
[Pre-Chorus – Higher octave, more intense]
I gave and gave, now it’s my turn
Let the bridges fall, let the old world burn
This time, I don't ask — I claim
Not their puppet, not their shame
---
[Drop – Second drop, even more massive, layered synths]
(BREAK FREE!)
I rise like fire — no fear in my eyes!
Ashes fall, but I survive
I rise like fire — fierce and alive!
You can’t hold back a soul that flies
---
[Bridge – Stripped down, emotional core, maybe piano or ambient pad]
Now I dance where I once crawled
Now I scream where I once stalled
Every scar, a flame inside
This is me — I won’t hide
---
[Final Drop – Triumphant, euphoric]
(RISE! RISE!)
I rise like fire — thunder in my voice!
This is my life, this is my choice
I rise like fire — feel the quake begin!
No more losing — now I win
---
[Outro – Fade out with vocal echoes and ambient sounds]
You thought I’d stay quiet…
But I was always the storm…
