(Intro – detuned guitars, feedback scream, drum hit)
Yeah…
You feel it now?
(Verse 1)
Born in the gutter, raised by the fight
Teeth clenched hard every goddamn night
They sold us hope in a cheap disguise
Fed us bullshit, called it a life
Concrete dreams with a loaded gun
Every step says “you’re fucking done”
But I’m still here, I’m still breathing
Spitting fire at the ceiling
(Pre-Chorus)
Back against the wall, I bite first
Every scar made the hunger worse
Say my name like it’s a curse
I wear that shit like armor
(Chorus – massive, punchy)
DOOMED — they said I’m fucking doomed
But I’m not dead, I’m coming for you
DOOMED — from the cradle to the tomb
I break the lock, I bend the rules
DOOMED — yeah I spit in the dark
You tried to kill my fucking spark
DOOMED — write it deep in stone
I rise alone — I rise alone
(Verse 2 – heavier groove)
Static faith and empty prayers
Nobody listening, nobody cares
Hands out begging for a sign
I built my goddamn spine in the grind
You want silence, I bring the noise
Burning bridges, breaking toys
If this world wants me in a grave
I’ll dig my way out with rage
(Pre-Chorus 2)
I don’t kneel, I don’t behave
I don’t rot, I don’t obey
Every lie you tried to sell
Just built my own personal hell
(Chorus – repeat, heavier)
DOOMED — they said I’m fucking doomed
But I’m not dead, I’m coming for you
DOOMED — from the cradle to the tomb
I break the lock, I bend the rules
DOOMED — yeah I spit in the dark
You tried to kill my fucking spark
DOOMED — carve it deep in bone
I rise alone — I rise alone
(Bridge – breakdown, half-time chug)
FUCK YOUR RULES
FUCK YOUR LIES
FUCK THE HANDS
THAT DREW THE LINES
(Breakdown riff — low, slow, violent)
(Guitar Solo – chaotic, bending, angry)
(Let it scream, then snap back hard)
(Final Chorus – all out)
DOOMED — yeah I’ve heard it all
Watched your prophets fucking fall
DOOMED — still standing tall
I didn’t break, I learned to brawl
DOOMED — say it to my face
I’ll drag the future from this place
DOOMED — carved in my bones
I rise alone — I rise alone
(Outro – final crushing hit)
They said I’m doomed…
So I became it.
