[Verse 1]
Logged in, blade on my side
Floor by floor, I been puttin' in time
Black coat draped, I don't talk much
One wrong step and the whole room's mine
You in the lobby, I’m already past that
Ping on the map when the shadows flash black
New quest, new pain, I don't backtrack
If I swing once, better watch that
[Chorus]
SAO, I don't fold
SAO, heart too cold
One life gone, I reload
Clear the game, then I go
SAO, don't blink slow
SAO, let it go
Sword up high when the fear show
I survive, that's how I know
[Verse 2]
Got a red trail where I step through
Enemy talk but I see through
Shield boys front, then they step back
I was lone wolfin' in a death trap
Blue crystal glow on the dungeon wall
Hear my name when the last one fall
You love the shine, I love the strike
I made peace with the edge of the night
Every checkpoint got a ghost in it
Every boss room got a code in it
If I grieve, I grieve in motion
Still I cut through the smoke, still chosen
[Chorus]
SAO, I don't fold
SAO, heart too cold
One life gone, I reload
Clear the game, then I go
SAO, don't blink slow
SAO, let it go
Sword up high when the fear show
I survive, that's how I know
[Verse 3]
Now the world feel small when I lock in
Too many scars, but I still win
Name on the board, but I stay grounded
Heaven knows how the blade got clouded
If I fall, I rise with a scarred grin
If you cap, I can hear that start spin
Break the seal when the final's near
I was built from the blood and fear
No safe zone, just a last push
No fake friends in the back rush
When the gate close, I don't panic
I was made for the cold, that's magic
[Chorus]
SAO, I don't fold
SAO, heart too cold
One life gone, I reload
Clear the game, then I go
SAO, don't blink slow
SAO, let it go
Sword up high when the fear show
I survive, that's how I know
