Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Static in the air, feel the pressure rise Shadows crawl slow under flicker lights Every breath tastes like rust and smoke This is the moment the silence broke [Verse 1] Ash in the air, hear the city breathe Promises rot underneath our feet Hands on the wheel, eyes wide awake Every rule bends when survival’s at stake Built from nights that never end Trust turned thin, then snapped again Every warning carved in stone Taught me how to stand alone [Verse 2] Branded by the weight of days Carried the blame, wore the rage If this road only leads through hell Then I’ll walk it and know it well Knuckles split, still holding on Learned real quick who was never strong I don’t hide from what I’ve seen I don’t wash my hands clean [Pre-Chorus] I’ve learned the cost of holding back I’ve learned the sound of a spine that cracks [Chorus] When the night closes in and the truth cuts deep I don’t beg, I don’t bargain, I don’t need relief Every scar I own, every debt I’ve paid I stand my ground — I show no mercy [Post-Chorus] (no mercy — instrumental hit) [Verse 3] Built a cage out of good intent Called it order, called it sense They preach peace with a loaded hand Draw the line, then demand I stand Taught to kneel, taught to obey Smile through the rot, look away I read between every lie Saw the hunger in their eyes [Verse 4] I’ve watched faith turn into control Watched wolves wear halos of gold If you think I’ll fold, think twice I’ve already paid the price Pressure stacking, skin pulled tight Every step’s a measured fight I don’t need a crown or throne Just a path I call my own [Pre-Chorus] Pressure talks, and I listen well I’ve been forged in the jaws of hell [Chorus] When the night closes in and the truth cuts deep I don’t beg, I don’t bargain, I don’t need relief Every scar I own, every debt I’ve paid I stand my ground — I show no mercy [Guitar Solo – melodic lead → fast runs → dive bombs] (guitar solo) (bending notes, sustained leads) (then chaotic shred with heavy rhythm underneath) [Bridge – quiet, ominous] This isn’t hate This is resolve A final line I won’t dissolve Every breath I ever bled Every word I never said Built the spine you tried to bend This is where it ends [Breakdown – slow, crushing] You pushed I endured You broke I endured Now the fear you fed to me Is the weight you can’t outrun I don’t swing first I swing last I don’t forget The past [Final Chorus] When the ground starts shaking under your feet And the lies fall dead in the street I won’t flinch, I won’t fade I earned every step I’ve made This is strength you can’t undo This is truth cutting through I stand my ground — I show no mercy [Outro] No mercy for the hollow threat No mercy for the debts you left I walk away, still standing free No mercy — only clarity
