[Verse 1]
War drums in my veins
Stone skin
Cracked plate
They chained a mountain
Dragged me through the gate
Cold light
Iron smell
Figures in white masks
They carved my forehead
Watched the world go black
[Chorus]
I am the gem in the giant
Caged storm
Burning quiet
Spellfire slowed in my skull
But I still riot
I still riot
Twist my will
Try to bend it
Fuse the flesh to the violent
I am the gem in the giant
I won't stay silent (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Needles drew the night
Bottled every scream
They measured every word
They mapped out all my dreams
Lightning in my bones
Hands that shook the sky
Now every arc I cast
Crawls
Refuses to fly
[Chorus]
I am the gem in the giant
Caged storm
Burning quiet
Spellfire slowed in my skull
But I still riot
I still riot
Twist my will
Try to bend it
Fuse the flesh to the violent
I am the gem in the giant
I won't stay silent (oh no)
[Bridge]
You think you've broken me?
Count my scars like chains
Every mark a memory
Of how I learned your names
If my power comes in echoes
Then I'll roar in time-delay
You buried fire in a boulder
Now the mountain walks away (yeah)
[Chorus]
I am the gem in the giant
Caged storm
Burning quiet
Spellfire slowed in my skull
But I still riot
I still riot
Twist my will
Try to bend it
Fuse the flesh to the violent
I am the gem in the giant
I am defiant
I am defiant
