[Intro]
Strike the match.
Cut the leash.
Wake the wolves beneath the street.
Turn the amps to kingdom come—
Let the whole damn skyline run.
[Verse 1]
We came up from broken glass,
Basement smoke and thunderclaps.
No clean hands, no golden road,
Just hungry hearts and overload.
They said, “Know your place, stay small, stay sweet,”
But we carved our names in the concrete.
Every scar became a spark,
Every spark became the dark.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now hear it rising,
Under your skin.
A black tide choir
Calling us in.
[Chorus]
We don’t kneel!
We don’t break!
We don’t bow to the fear you make!
We don’t run!
We don’t hide!
We were born with the fire inside!
Raise your hands to the burning sky,
Let the whole world hear us alive!
You don’t like us? Fuck you, we’re still here!
Ashrot screams and the dead lights disappear!
[Verse 2]
Fast as a curse, loud as a sin,
Teeth in the wire and a riot grin.
The drums hit hard like a war on chains,
Bassline splitting through poisoned veins.
We are the ones you pushed aside,
Now we’re the storm in the power lines.
No throne, no crown, no holy deal,
Just blackened lungs and nerves of steel.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now hear it rising,
Under your skin.
A black tide choir
Calling us in.
[Chorus]
We don’t kneel!
We don’t break!
We don’t bow to the fear you make!
We don’t run!
We don’t hide!
We were born with the fire inside!
Raise your hands to the burning sky,
Let the whole world hear us alive!
You don’t like us? Fuck you, we’re still here!
Ashrot screams and the dead lights disappear!
[Bridge]
I’ve been the bruise.
I’ve been the blame.
I’ve been the mouth with no given name.
I’ve been the ghost.
I’ve been the knife.
I’ve been the kid they forgot had a life.
But now I’m louder than shame,
Faster than fear.
Black smoke crown and the end drawing near.
If this is war, then let it begin—
We are the thunder crawling under your skin.
[Breakdown]
No gods above us.
No chains below.
No hands to save us.
No debt we owe.
Bite the static.
Bleed the sound.
Kick the gates in.
Burn them down.
We don’t kneel.
We don’t kneel.
We don’t kneel.
[Final Chorus]
We don’t kneel!
We don’t break!
We don’t bow to the fear you make!
We don’t run!
We don’t hide!
We were born with the fire inside!
Raise your hands to the burning sky,
Let the whole world hear us alive!
You don’t like us? Fuck you, we’re still here!
Ashrot screams and the dead lights disappear!
[Outro]
Strike the match.
Cut the leash.
Wake the wolves beneath the street.
No more silence.
No more fear.
Ashrot screams—
And we’re still here.
