[Intro instrumental / quiet tension]
Ah i ah i ah
oh—oh… oh
Ah…i ah i ah
oh—oh…
Oh...
[heartbeat-like drums, sparse pads, almost like a breath being held]
Verse
I’ve walked through nights that swallowed me whole
Cold walls pressing, empty space for a soul
Every step forward felt like a lie
Every whispered hope made me want to hide
I knelt on the floor, hands in the dark
Praying for something, anything, to spark
The silence answered with nothing at all
I felt faith break, then rise from the fall
Pre-Chorus
Every doubt became a weight I carried
Every fear tried to bury me unspoken
But somewhere inside, a pulse remained
A small fire, refusing to be broken
[soft echo / haunting chant]
Ei—Oi… oh—oh… ei—oi…
[Chorus slow, bone-deep, anthem]
I’ll hold the light through the storm
When the night won’t end, when I’m torn
Nothing can take what’s still inside
I rise again, I will not hide
[Chants / gang vocals]
Ei—Oi! Ei—Oi!
Oh—oh, oh—oh!
Verse
The ground gave way beneath my feet
Felt every failure, every defeat
I bled my doubts into the dirt
Cried silent tears for all my hurt
I reached for something I couldn’t see
A voice, a hand, a reason to believe
Faith wasn’t gentle, it cut and it burned
Taught me to rise, though I’d been spurned
[Pre-Chorus tension rising]
Every shadow whispered “turn back”
Every storm screamed “you’ll crack”
But even broken, even afraid
I held the fire, I would not fade
[layered haunting echo]
Ei—Oi… oh—oh… ei—oi…
[Chorus bigger, desperate]
I’ll hold the light through the storm
When the night won’t end, when I’m torn
Nothing can take what’s still alive
I rise again, I will survive
[Chants / gang vocals]
Ei—Oi! Ei—Oi!
Oh—oh, oh—oh!
[Bridge (stripped, whispered - explosive]
I don’t want easy faith
I don’t want comfort
I want the fire that scars
I want the hands that won’t leave
RISE — STRONG!
RISE — HIGH!
Every doubt that tried to break me
Every shadow I faced alone
Can’t touch the light I keep
It’s mine, it’s real, it’s grown
[full drums and instruments explode into final chorus]
[Final Chorus BIGGEST, climactic]
I’ll hold the light through the storm
When the night won’t end, when I’m torn
Nothing can take what’s still alive
I rise again, I will survive
[Chants / layered gang vocals]
Ei—Oi! Ei—Oi!
Oh—oh, oh—oh!
Ei—Oi! Ei—Oi!
Oh—oh, oh—oh!
Outro (fade, haunting)
I rise, I fight, I won’t let go
I’ll hold the light
Ei—Oi!
Oh—oh…
