I hold the light

Intro (instrumental / tension build)

Ah—i ah i ah…

Oh—oh… oh…

Ah—i ah i ah…

Oh—oh…

Oh…

(heartbeat drums, distant pulse, rising air pressure)

Verse 1

I walked through nights that swallowed me whole

Cold air pressing against my soul

Every step felt like sinking sand

Every hope slipped through my hands

I hit the ground in the dead of night

Searching for something that felt like light

But silence answered, cold and wide

Still I stayed, still I tried

Pre-Chorus

Every doubt became a weight I carried

Every fear tried to bury me alive

But deep inside, something stayed awake

A fire refusing to die

(echo chant builds)

Ei—oi… oh—oh… ei—oi…

Chorus (slow → explosive anthem)

I’ll hold the light through the storm

When the night won’t let me go

Nothing can take what’s still inside

I rise again, I won’t fold

(gang vocals / stomp build)

Ei—oi! Ei—oi!

Oh—oh, oh—oh!

Verse 2

The ground gave out beneath my feet

I felt every loss, every defeat

I bled my fear into the dirt

Learned how to breathe through all the hurt

I reached for something I couldn’t see

A voice that said “don’t give up on me”

Faith wasn’t soft, it cut like steel

But it taught me how to feel

Pre-Chorus (higher tension)

Every shadow said “turn away”

Every storm said “you won’t stay”

But even broken, even scarred

I kept the fire in my heart

(echo chant rising)

Ei—oi… oh—oh… ei—oi…

Chorus (bigger, full drums)

I’ll hold the light through the storm

When the night won’t let me go

Nothing can take what’s still inside

I rise again, I won’t fold

I won’t break

I won’t fall

I won’t fade into nothing at all

(gang vocals explode)

Ei—oi! Ei—oi!

Oh—oh, oh—oh!

Bridge (stripped → spoken → build)

I don’t want easy faith

I don’t want empty peace

I want the fire that changes me

Even if it burns

Even if it breaks

I’d rather feel it all than be fake

(whisper builds into shout)

RISE—UP!

RISE—HIGH!

Everything that tried to end me

Only made me feel alive

Final Chorus (FULL cinematic explosion)

I’ll hold the light through the storm

When the night won’t let me go

Nothing can take what’s still inside

I rise again, I won’t fold

I won’t break

I won’t fall

I was born to stand through it all

(huge layered chants)

Ei—oi! Ei—oi!

Oh—oh, oh—oh!

Ei—oi! Ei—oi!

Oh—oh, oh—oh!

Outro (fade / echo / distant drums)

I rise…

I fight…

I hold the light…

Ei—oi…

Oh—oh…

I won’t go…
