Keeping Her Alive

Ash in the sky, but I’m still breathing,

Steel in my fists, and my heart won’t cave in.

Every shadow’s got teeth, every night’s the same—

But your voice cuts through like a spark in the rain.

Boot prints in the dirt where the lost ones crawl,

World fell down, but I refuse to fall.

If the darkness wants war, then it’s gonna get war—

‘Cause you’re the only light I’m fighting for.

And I hear them calling, calling my name,

But they don’t know the fire that burns in my veins.

I’m not running—no, I’m not afraid.

I’ll tear through the night if it keeps you safe.

I’ll fight the world, I’ll fight the dead,

Every scream, every breath,

I’ll take the hit, I’ll bleed instead—

Just to keep you, keep you alive.

Through endless waves, through broken nights,

If they come for you, they’ll meet my fire.

I’ll stand my ground, I’ll never tire—

I was born to keep you, keep you alive.

Sirens are ghosts in the cold horizon,

But I’ve got your heartbeat—my only siren.

Stitches and scars like a map I’ve earned,

Proof of every nightmare I overturned.

When the city starts howling like a wounded beast,

I reload my strength, never on my knees.

Hope is a weapon, and baby, you’re mine—

I’ll hold that line till the end of time.

And I hear them calling, clawing my name,

But they don’t know how far I’d go for your flame.

They can chase me into the jaws of the night—

I’ll burn the dark just to keep you in sight.

I’ll fight the world, I’ll fight the dead,

Every scream, every breath,

I’ll take the hit, I’ll bleed instead—

Just to keep you, keep you alive.

Through endless waves, through broken nights,

If they come for you, they’ll meet my fire.

I’ll stand my ground, I’ll never tire—

I was born to keep you, keep you alive.

If the sky falls down, I’ll lift it up,

If the earth splits open, I won’t give up.

I’ll tear down hell with my bare hands—

Just say the word, and I’ll take that stand.

You’re my reason, you’re my war cry,

You’re every breath I won’t let die.

Let the world end—still I’ll rise…

I’ll fight the world, I’ll fight the dead,

Every scream, every breath,

I’ll take the hit, I’ll bleed instead—

Just to keep you, keep you alive.

Through endless waves, through flaming skies,

If they chase you, they’ll meet my fire.

I’ll stand my ground, I’ll never tire—

I was born to keep you, keep you alive.
