Against the Fire

Verse 1
We were kids with our backs to the wall
Empty pockets, but we wanted it all
Broken streets taught us how to stand
Learned real quick how to hold our ground
Every scar had a story to tell
Every fall rang a different bell
When the lights went out, you were there
Two shadows breathing the same air
Pre-Chorus
When the weight came down and the sky caved in
You said, “This ain’t where it ends”
Chorus
Through the fire, through the pain
Through the nights where we barely stayed sane
When the world said no way out
We stood up and we figured it out
Side by side, till the bitter end
Blood or not, you’re my brother, my friend
Against the odds, against the flame
We walk through hell and we come back the same
Verse 2
Lost jobs, lost sleep, lost faith
Had the future screaming in our face
Every door slammed hard and fast
But we learned how to make it last
They said time would tear us apart
Said pressure breaks the strongest hearts
But every mile just proved them wrong
Two voices turning into one song
Pre-Chorus
When the ground shook under our feet
You said, “Stand up—this is our street”
Chorus
Through the fire, through the pain
Through the nights where we barely stayed sane
When the world said no way out
We stood up and we figured it out
Side by side, till the bitter end
Blood or not, you’re my brother, my friend
Against the odds, against the flame
We walk through hell and we come back the same
Bridge (Half-time, heavy)
Let ‘em doubt
Let ‘em laugh
We’ve buried fear in the past
Every hit just made us steel
Every wound just proved it’s real
Build-Up
When everything falls away
I know you won’t fade
Final Chorus (Bigger, anthemic)
Through the fire, through the pain
Through the nights where we screamed your name
When the dark tried to take our breath
We stared it down, we chose respect
Side by side, till the bitter end
Not just promise—this is cement
Against the odds, against all blame
We walk through hell
And we come back the same
Outro
No crown, no throne, no fame
Just two souls that refused to change

Up-tempo anthemic hard rock; clear male vocals, grounded verses, heavy guitars, big melodic chorus, driving drums.
