Verse 1 (raspy)
Woke up with the weight of the world on my chest,
Another scar carved deep, another test.
Hands are shaking but I’m still standing tall,
I’ve been down on my knees but I never crawl.
Every doubt screaming loud in my head,
But I’m breathing defiance instead of regret.
Pre-Chorus (raspy building)
I’ve tasted the dirt, felt the knife in my back,
Still I’m lining my sights, never losing the track.
If this road breaks bones, I’ll walk it alone—
I was forged in the fire, this pain is my home.
Chorus (clean, anthemic)
We push through the darkness, eyes locked ahead,
Through the tears, through the sweat, through the blood that we’ve bled.
No matter how hard, no matter the cost,
I’ll stay on the path, I won’t get lost.
Still breathing, still burning, still chasing the flame—
This is the mission, remember the name.
Verse 2 (raspy)
Heartbeat pounding like a war drum strike,
Every step forward feels like a fight for my life.
The night tried to swallow me whole again,
But I bite back harder every time I’m tested.
Broken knuckles, cracked voice, but I scream it loud,
I am not done—hear me now.
Pre-Chorus 2 (raspy)
Every drop of blood wrote my name in the ground,
Every fall taught me how to rebound.
I won’t bend, I won’t fade, I won’t rot—
This path is everything that I’ve got.
Chorus (clean, bigger)
We push through the darkness, eyes locked ahead,
Through the tears, through the sweat, through the blood that we’ve bled.
No matter how hard, no matter the cost,
I’ll stay on the path, I won’t get lost.
Still breathing, still burning, still chasing the flame—
This is the mission, remember the name.
Bridge (clean → raspy)
When the weight feels too heavy to hold,
And the night turns your heart ice-cold—
Remember the promise you made in the pain,
You didn’t survive just to break again.
Breakdown (raw, frys shouted)
TEETH GRIT.
HEAD DOWN.
ONE STEP—DON’T BACK DOWN.
PAIN TALKS—
I SCREAM LOUDER.
THIS ROAD MADE ME,
I WON’T SURRENDER.
Final Chorus (clean with grit)
We push through the darkness, never looking back,
Every scar a reminder we’re still on track.
No matter how hard, no matter how far,
I’ll bleed for the truth of who we are.
Still breathing, still burning, still walking the flame—
Through hell and back, we stay the same.
Outro (clean, hopeful)
Stay the course.
Hold the line.
Through the pain—this path is mine.
