Verse 1 – (Aeris / Shira)
Born in chains of cold steel light,
raised in cages, taught to hide.
Shock on skin, the master’s voice,
no freedom left, no other choice.
Snow and stripes behind the bars,
counting wounds instead of stars.
But something wild begins to rise—
a spark that never truly dies.
Pre-Chorus
We were numbers, pets, and prey,
but no one owns the hearts that stayed.
In the darkness, something called—
the fire in us never stalled.
Chorus
We are the broken—
but we rise, we rise.
Forged in the ashes
of cruelty and lies.
We are the hunted,
but hear our cry:
You can cage our bodies—
but never our wild lives.
Tonight we rise.
Verse 2 – (Liliana & Kiran)
A promise made in childhood’s dust,
broken dreams and shattered trust.
He wore the scars of every night,
she wore the guilt of leaving sight.
But even rage can turn to flame
when two lost souls recall their name.
Vengeance burns, but truth burns more—
and love becomes a rebel’s roar.
Pre-Chorus
They tore us apart, rewrote our minds,
but some bonds even torture binds.
In every heartbeat, every scar—
we remember who we are.
Chorus
We are the broken—
but we rise, we rise.
Forged in the ashes
of cruelty and lies.
We are the hunted,
but hear our cry:
You can cage our bodies—
but never our wild lives.
Tonight we rise.
Bridge – (Sarina, Ryen, Kian)
Across the rooftops in the rain,
foxfire hearts outrun their pain.
A cat with scars like burning lines
stands tall, refuses to bow or hide.
Three shadows dancing on the night,
escaping nets, refusing fright.
And every step, every leap they take
is a vow no chain will ever break.
“Run with me,”
the wild winds say—
“We are freedom
on the edge of day.”
Breakdown – (Kael & the Lions)
Lions roar in cages torn,
tiger hearts no longer worn.
Wolf and snow unite the land—
no master’s hand can counterstand.
From every pen and every pit,
a thousand voices scream:
“THIS IS IT.”
Final Chorus
We are the broken—
but we rise, we rise.
Forged in the ashes
of cruelty and lies.
We are the hunted,
but hear our cry:
You can cage our bodies—
but never our wild lives.
We are the shadows,
we are the roar,
we are the rebels
they fear evermore.
Tonight the chains fall—
tonight we fight.
Tonight we rise.
