Spoken – low, tense whisper) You swore you’d stand… You swore you’d fight… But when the fire burned bright… You stepped back. ⸻ Verse 1 Cold night — courtyard stone Shadowed faces, you stand alone Heat of the fire on trembling skin Fear creeping deep within “They say you walked with Him…” Your heartbeat starts to pound Pressure closing in You don’t make a sound You said you’d die You said you’d bleed But survival starts to lead ⸻ Pre-Chorus (Rising tension) Three words cut through the flame “I don’t know His name” Three times you stepped away Three times you walked in shame ⸻ Chorus (Explosive / chant driven) Before the rooster crows — Who are you gonna be?! Stand in the fire — Or fall to your knees?! Before the rooster crows — Will you deny the King?! Or let the fear inside Control everything?! No more silence. No retreat. We rise. We stand. On our feet. ⸻ Verse 2 Blue-collar hands, calloused pride Faith you carry deep inside But when the job site starts to mock When culture tries to shock You shrink back You blend in Compromise dressed up as “fit in” Break room laughter — filthy line You look away — every time Denial doesn’t always shout Sometimes it’s just backing out ⸻ Pre-Chorus (Harder, louder) Three strikes in the dark Fear left its mark But grace was never far Grace was never far ⸻ Bridge (Heavy breakdown – rhythmic chant) Pressure! Fear! Self-preservation near! Fire! Heat! Will you stand or retreat?! He looked at you — Eyes locked through the flame Not with wrath… But calling your name ⸻ Breakdown (Slow, crushing) Failure isn’t final Shame is not your grave The same hands that were bound Are strong enough to save You fell — But you’re not done You ran — But you can run back to the Son ⸻ Final Chorus (Bigger, triumphant) Before the rooster crows — I know who I will be Washed by mercy Set free Before the rooster crows — I won’t deny the King Let the fear fall down Let the boldness sing No more silence No more shame Kingdom men Stand in His name ⸻ Outro (Militant chant) Stand. Stand. Stand. When the fire burns — Stand. When the pressure hits — Stand. Before the rooster crows — STAND.

No More Silence
