Intro (spoken / distorted)
We were buried alive…
But fire learns to breathe underground.
Verse 1
Pressure on my spine, concrete in my lungs
Every word you fed me tasted like rusted tongues
You built your throne from our broken backs
Called it order, called it fate, called it fact
Static in my head, sirens in my veins
I’ve been biting my teeth through the cycle of pain
You said stay down, said know your place
But I memorized the cracks in your perfect face
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been quiet in the wreckage
Learning how to burn
Every scar is loaded
Now it’s my turn
Chorus
RISE UP — light the fuse inside
We’re the fallout you can’t survive
Hands blood-red, eyes wide shut
Hear the countdown — DETONATE, RISE UP
RISE UP — from the ash and dirt
Built from damage, born from hurt
If the world wants war, we won’t duck
We don’t beg — WE ERUPT
Verse 2
You sold us fear in a golden frame
Told us heaven comes if we play your game
But I watched your saints rot from the crown
While you preached salvation, we bled out
Chains look lighter when you’re trained to crawl
But weight feels different when you stand tall
I won’t be your ghost in the machine
I’m the glitch you never planned to see
Pre-Chorus 2
Hear the boots on the ceiling
Hear the ground give way
When the silence shatters
You’ll remember this day
Chorus
RISE UP — light the fuse inside
We’re the fallout you can’t survive
Hands blood-red, eyes wide shut
Hear the countdown — DETONATE, RISE UP
RISE UP — no gods, no leash
We bite back hard, we don’t preach
You pushed us past “enough is enough”
Now watch us — RISE UP
Breakdown (slow → violent)
Brick by brick
You built the cage
Now choke on the dust
OF YOUR EMPIRE
Step — by — step
We climb the wreck
This is the sound
OF THE WIRE SNAPPING
NO MORE KNEES
NO MORE CHAINS
NO MORE PRAYERS TO YOUR NAME
Callout (shouted)
WHAT DO WE DO?
RISE UP!
WHAT DO WE BECOME?
THE BLAST!
Bridge (melodic but heavy)
If tomorrow never comes
At least tonight we’re alive
I’d rather burn in truth
Than freeze under your lies
We’re the spark you tried to drown
The echo you couldn’t mute
When the sky starts falling down
It’s falling on YOU
Final Chorus (extended)
RISE UP — feel the ground shake now
Hear the sirens, hear the crowd
This is more than flesh and blood
This is war in our pulse
RISE UP — no fear, no crown
We tear the ceiling, break the sound
From the ruins, from the dust
We don’t kneel — WE RISE UP
Outro (spoken / fading screams)
You tried to end the fire…
But all you did
Was teach us
How to explode.
