[Intro]
Get up
Get up
Get up
(move)
[Verse 1]
Same hard jaw
Same short fuse
I learned pride
Like a fresh bruise
Sunday suit
Smelling like smoke
Blessed in rage
Every word he spoke
Hands on the wheel
White lines blur
Voice in my head
Sounds like his
Sir
Swore I’d change
Swore I’d run
Look in the mirror
I’m his loaded gun
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you proud of what I’ve done?
(are you proud of what I’ve done?)
Hear you in my every tongue
[Chorus]
I am my father’s son
Built from the damage
Brick by blood
Carry your name like a cursed crown
If this is the weight
Then I won’t back down
I am my father’s son
Born in the blaze
I don’t ever run
Turn all that hurt into war drums
If this is the weight
Then I won’t back down
[Verse 2]
You said “stand up”
Never said “feel”
Taught me to fight
Never taught me to heal
Heart like steel
But it bends at night
When your ghost calls out
Every time I fight
Got your laugh
Got your stare
Got your anger
I wear it like armor I tear
Off my chest
When the day is done
Still see you
In the man I’ve become
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you proud of what I’ve done?
(are you proud of what I’ve done?)
Can I break this
Can I outrun?
[Chorus]
I am my father’s son
Built from the damage
Brick by blood
Carry your name like a cursed crown
If this is the weight
Then I won’t back down
I am my father’s son
Born in the blaze
I don’t ever run
Turn all that hurt into war drums
If this is the weight
Then I won’t back down
[Bridge]
[Mosh call – drums and guitar stab
Crowd noise rising]
MOVE
MOVE
MOVE
Circle up
Tear it open
Let that anger
Split you open
All my brothers
All my ones
Scream that line
From your lungs
[Chant]
I am my father’s son
(I am my father’s son)
I am my father’s son
(I am my father’s son)
[Breakdown]
Drop that guilt
To the floor
Stomp that shame
’Til it’s no more
Blood in my teeth
Sweat in my eyes
I break his chains
With every cry
[Chorus]
I am my father’s son
Built from the damage
Brick by blood
Carry your name like a cursed crown
If this is the weight
Then I won’t back down
I am my father’s son
Born in the blaze
I don’t ever run
Turn all that hurt into war drums
If this is the weight
Then I won’t back down
[Outro]
I am my father’s son
But the story’s mine
(mine)
