RIDE THE STORM

[Intro]
[low choir
Distant drums]
Black sky
Cold crown
Ash rain
Falling down
[Verse 1]
Boots in the mud
Blood on the banner I drag
Teeth in the wind
Biting the edge of the flag
I walk through the wreckage
Of a prayer that never was mine
Names in the smoke
Burn on the back of my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
I have knelt
I have choked on every vow
Are you watching?
Do you hear me now?
[Chorus]
I will ride the storm
’Til the heavens break
Claw my name
In the walls you made
If the gates stay closed
I will tear them open
I will ride the storm
I will claim your heaven
[Verse 2]
Cracked halo
Hangs from a chain at my throat
Cold metal
Tastes like a half-spoken oath
Angels in armor
Turn their faces into the rain
But I light a match
In the hollow of all of my shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Every wound
Every scar
A battle psalm
Are you silent?
Or drawing your sword in the dark?
[Chorus]
I will ride the storm
’Til the heavens break
Claw my name
In the walls you made
If the gates stay closed
I will tear them open
I will ride the storm
I will claim your heaven
[Bridge]
[half-time
Synths swell]
If faith is a prison
Then I want the key (hey!)
If grace is a kingdom
It’s coming through me
I don’t need your crown
I’ll forge my own
From thunder
From stone
From bone
[Chorus]
I will ride the storm
’Til the heavens break
Carve my name
In the walls you made
If the gates stay closed
I will tear them open
I will ride the storm
I will claim your heaven (oh)
I will ride the storm
I will claim your heaven

metal, Epic cinematic metal meets darkwave pulse: low choirs and ominous synth beds under chugging guitars, double-kick bursts, and thunderous toms. Male power vocals shift from brooding low verses to soaring, sustained high notes in the chorus. Choirs and distant taiko accents widen the hook; bridge drops to half-time with synth arpeggios before a final, triumphant modulation and stacked harmonies., dark wave, deep
