[Intro]
Flame in the tide
Ash in the rain
I keep colliding
With all of this pain
[Verse 1]
I walk on waves with burned-out feet
Salt in my wounds, still I grind my teeth
They said "stand down", I drown that speech
Turn that doubt to steam, let the fire leak
Red in my eyes, blue in my veins
Heart like a furnace, locked in chains
You see calm seas, I see war games
Whole sky shaking when I say my name
[Chorus]
Fire on water
I rise when I oughta fall
Burn through the border
I break when you build that wall
You can try to drown this flame
Push me down, I'll boil that cage
Fire on water
I turn the tide, I scorch the waves
[Verse 2]
Breath tastes metal, lungs full smoke
Every setback, fuel I choke
Storm keeps talking, I don't fold
I bite that thunder, spit back bolts
Tide keeps pulling, still I charge
Nothing but scars for a bodyguard
They pray for quiet, I roar too hard
Turn every scar to a calling card
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Steam on my skin
Hear that hiss when I sink, then I swim
[half-time drums, chugging guitars]
You want calm?
I’m a riot in the wind
[whispered vocals]
"Go under"
I hear it, then I grin
[crescendo]
'Cause I was born in the clash, in the crash, in the flood
Turn the whole dark sea to a bloom of blood
If the world wants war, then I want more
Set the ocean ablaze from the core
[Chorus]
