[Verse 1]
I walk in the smoke with a cut on my sleeve
Samurai steps, you can hear me breathe
Darkness on my back like a second skin
Enemy close, but I don’t fold in
I gave my word when I knew the cost
Promise in my chest, even if I’m lost
Love got sharp when the night got cold
Death at the door, but I still hold
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, I won’t run
Tell that fear I’m already done
Heart like steel, hand on the blade
If I fall, I’ll still be brave
[Chorus]
Promise blade, promise blade
Cut through the dark, I don’t fade
Promise blade, promise blade
Love and death, I still stay
Promise blade, promise blade
Say it loud, let the fear break
Promise blade, promise blade
I was built for the hard way
[Verse 2]
Enemy talk, but they never seen
What it costs to keep a dream
Mud on the floor, blood on the page
I learned peace from a war-filled age
Love was a vow with a scar on it
Still I wore it like an oath on my wrist
If the world wants bones, let it come and take
I keep my promise, I don’t break
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, I won’t run
Tell that fear I’m already done
Heart like steel, hand on the blade
If I fall, I’ll still be brave
[Chorus]
Promise blade, promise blade
Cut through the dark, I don’t fade
Promise blade, promise blade
Love and death, I still stay
Promise blade, promise blade
Say it loud, let the fear break
Promise blade, promise blade
I was built for the hard way
[Bridge]
If the night takes me, remember this
I chose the line, I chose the risk
No empty crown, no borrowed shame
Just one true vow and a fire in my name
[Chorus]
Promise blade, promise blade
Cut through the dark, I don’t fade
Promise blade, promise blade
Love and death, I still stay
Promise blade, promise blade
Say it loud, let the fear break
Promise blade, promise blade
I was built for the hard way
