[Verse 1]
I was born in the frost
With a wolf in my ribs
Every old wound I wear
Still remembers my skin
Demons at my longhouse door
Grinning through the rain
I fed them my fear
Now I know their names
[Pre-Chorus]
They came for my crown
For the fire in my chest
I stood in the dark
And I passed the test
One hard breath
One harder strike
I am the one
Who keeps my life
[Chorus]
I barrel through the demons
(I barrel through)
I barrel through the demons
(through the demons)
I take the night by the throat
And I do not fold
I barrel through the demons
To become gold
[Verse 2]
I have carried my shame
Like an axe on my back
I have slept in the mud
Then I climbed from that
Every whisper that said
I would break, I would drown
I turned into iron
And I hammered it down
[Pre-Chorus]
They came for my soul
For the man I could be
I looked them in the eye
And I set it free
One true oath
One fierce sky
I am the fire
I cannot die
[Chorus]
I barrel through the demons
(I barrel through)
I barrel through the demons
(through the demons)
I take the night by the throat
And I do not fold
I barrel through the demons
To become gold
[Bridge]
If I must bleed, let it mean something
If I must bend, let it bend me toward light
I will not kneel to the ghosts in my blood
I will not live as their ruin tonight
I lift my name like a banner in storm
I break the chain with my own two hands
From the ash and the ice, I rise again
A better man
[Final Chorus]
I barrel through the demons
(I barrel through)
I barrel through the demons
(through the demons)
I take the night by the throat
And I do not fold
I barrel through the demons
To become gold
I barrel through the demons
(I barrel through)
I barrel through the demons
(through the demons)
No throne but the one
That I earn and hold
I barrel through the demons
And I become whole
