Beneath the weight

Intro (spoken / distorted)

I carried the world on a spine already breaking.

Now watch it snap.

Verse 1

Born into fire, baptized in pain,

Teeth clenched tight while I swallowed the rain,

Every step forward felt carved in bone,

I learned real fast you die alone.

Voices like vultures circling my head,

Telling me I’m better off dead,

But I dug my nails into the dirt and screamed,

I am more than what you made of me.

Pre-Chorus

I bled for every breath I take,

I cracked the ground beneath the weight,

You tried to bury me alive—

I learned to breathe inside the grave.

Chorus

I WILL NOT BEND

I WILL NOT BREAK

I’M FORGED IN HELL

BENEATH THE WEIGHT

CRUSH ME DOWN

WATCH ME RISE

I WEAR MY SCARS

LIKE BATTLE SIGNS

Verse 2

Faith decayed, hope turned black,

Every promise stabbed me in the back,

I prayed to gods that never spoke,

So I became the devil you invoke.

This world feeds on the weak and tired,

Chews them up, spits out the liars,

But I’m the rot you couldn’t kill,

A screaming force of iron will.

Pre-Chorus

Every loss carved deeper lines,

Every wound sharpened my mind,

You wanted silence, you wanted shame—

I answered with unholy flame.

Chorus

I WILL NOT BEND

I WILL NOT BREAK

I’M FORGED IN HELL

BENEATH THE WEIGHT

CRUSH ME DOWN

WATCH ME RISE

I WEAR MY SCARS

LIKE BATTLE SIGNS

BREAKDOWN

(half-time, guttural)

Bury me

Break me

Drag my name through the dirt

I’ll crawl back

With my teeth clenched

And make it hurt

YOU CAN’T KILL

WHAT YOU CREATE

Bridge

I am the echo of every scream,

The monster born from your cruelty,

If this is hell, then let it burn,

I’ll turn the ashes into thrones.

Final Chorus

I WILL NOT BEND

I WILL NOT BREAK

I AM THE STORM

YOU AWAKED

NO MORE CHAINS

NO MORE LIES

I WEAR MY SCARS

LIKE BATTLE SIGNS

Outro (spoken / fading growl)

You tried to end me.

All you did…

Was teach me how to survive.
