Verse 1

Enemy at the gates, Rata…tat…tat,I feel the ground shake,

Every doubt knockin’, tryin’ to take whats mine

,

I stand still, hands tight on the rope,

Heart beat loud but my eyes stay open to every fucker around.

I’ve been pushed back, I’ve been tested hard,

Still here guardin’ every scar,

This ain’t fear, this ain’t retreat,

This is time tobreath before the victory.

Pre-Chorus (build)

Hold steady, don’t run now, rata..tat..tat,

Every wall ever built gets shaken down.

Chorus (BIG, EXCITING)

Hold the line — here they come!

Me vs the world but I’m not done,

Hear that sound in my chest tonight?

That’s courage lightin’ up the fight.

Hold the line — feel that drum,

I don’t break, I become,

Enemy at the gates can try all night,

I’m still standin’ — and I like the fight.

Verse 2

They say “give up”, they say “stand down”,

I just grin when the noise gets loud,

Every step closer they try to take,

Just makes my backbone harder to break.

I don’t fight with hate or rage,

I fight with calm and open space,

They come heavy, I stay light,

That’s how you win this kind of fight.

Pre-Chorus

Eyes up, boots firm, breathe it in,

This is where the story begins.

Chorus

Hold the line — here they come!

Feel the rush, feel the drum,

Every voice sayin’ “you won’t last”,

I laugh and let ‘em pass.

Hold the line — don’t retreat,

Every step puts fire in my feet,

Enemy at the gates don’t understand,

I’m defendin’ joy — not land.

Bridge (half-spoken, powerful)

I don’t need to destroy the world…

I just need to protect what’s mine.

Break (drums + crowd)

Boom-boom!

Hey!

Rata,tat,tat!

Hey!

Final Chorus (BIGGEST, HAPPIEST)

Hold the line — here they come! Rata,tat,tat

But look at me — I’m smilin’ son,

Storm at the gates, light in my eyes,

This ain’t survival — this is life.

Hold the line — hear that sound?

That’s a happy heart poundin’ loud,

Me vs the world — and I’ve already won,

Turn it up — here they come!

Outro (drums fade, calm)

Stand down…

Nah.

Stand proud.
