Intro
War drums, choir chant, then dual guitar harmony kicks in
Verse 1
Dawn breaks red on a field of one
Swords drawn where my heart and doubt have come
Two shadows stand in armor bright and black
Every step ahead pulls me further back
Battle horns cry out, but no foe's outside the gate
The enemy I charge wears my own face
Pre-Chorus
I raise my banner high... just to watch it fall
Every wall I build becomes another wall
Steel my voice to roar — it just trembles thin
Chorus
This is the siege inside my skin
Where demons cheer and saints give in
Hammer strikes the shield I am
Spark by spark, I am who I damn
Rise! Fall! Again, begin!
Until one king is left within!
Verse 2
Whispers dress as wisdom, chains disguised as peace
"Lay your weapon down" — so the war will never cease
Memories like archers fire from towers tall
Every scar’s an arrow I recall
Yet in the dust, a heartbeat drums defiance
Not for glory, but for self-alliance
Pre-Chorus
I grip the blade... that I once dropped in shame
The fire that burned me now remembers my name
Turn the fear to fuel — let the pyre begin
Chorus
This is the siege inside my skin
Where demons cheer and saints give in
Hammer strikes the shield I am
Spark by spark, I am who I damn
Rise! Fall! Again, begin!
Until one king is left within!
Hold the line!
Against myself I stand!
Hold the line!
With bloodied sword in hand!
I AM NOT MY WOUNDS! I AM WHO I BECOME!
THIS is the siege inside my skin!
No more where demons cheer and saints give in!
Hammer strikes — the shield I AM!
Break the chains with my own hands!
Rise! Stand! No more civil sin!
One king rules the war within!
