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.
