[Verse 1]
I was the weakest in the room
Then the door split wide
Cold breath on my neck
And the fear got quiet
Grey walls, low light
Blood on my sleeve
I crawled through the wreck
Now the wreck looks at me
They said, "Stay down"
I said, "Watch me rise"
New name on my back
Old life buried alive
Every hit I took
Made the hunger grow
Now the monsters bow
When they see my shadow
[Pre-Chorus]
One step, then the floor shakes
One look, and they all freeze
Count me out if you want
I got death on a leash
Hear that silence?
That’s my cue
When I call them forth
They come through
[Chorus]
I level up
I level up
From the dark, I come up
From the dark, I come up
I level up
I level up
Say my name, then duck
Say my name, then duck
[Verse 2]
Black blade singing
Cut through the doubt
Every beast in the hall
Gets dragged right out
Ash on my boots
Ice in my stare
Whole room goes still
When I step in there
No lucky break
No hand to hold
I built this crown
Out of bruises and cold
They see my face
Then they step back
Too late now
I’m already past that
Call the pack in
Let the night swarm
I was made in the fall
Now I walk in the storm
[Pre-Chorus]
One step, then the floor shakes
One look, and they all freeze
Count me out if you want
I got death on a leash
Hear that silence?
That’s my cue
When I call them forth
They come through
[Chorus]
I level up
I level up
From the dark, I come up
From the dark, I come up
I level up
I level up
Say my name, then duck
Say my name, then duck
[Bridge]
I used to flinch
Now I command the night
Used to ask for a chance
Now I take what’s mine
No mercy in my hands
No fear in my chest
If the world wants war
Then the world gets less
[Chorus]
I level up
I level up
From the dark, I come up
From the dark, I come up
I level up
I level up
Say my name, then duck
Say my name, then duck
