[Verse 1]
Saw my shadow in the hall
Big as a backroom wall
Hands went cold on the rail
Heard that old nerve fail
[Verse 2]
Wore my doubt like a chain
Made my pulse knock loud in vain
But I kept one foot in the flame
Said your name, said your name
[Pre-Chorus]
I was shaking, but I stayed
I was breaking, then I made
One clean line through the dark
One hard spark in my heart
[Chorus]
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
Watch me rise, watch me rise
Through the flame, through the flame
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
(Oh-oh) I was born to take this stage
[Verse 3]
Now the doors swing wide
And the fear runs out to hide
Got my scars in silver thread
Got a fire in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
I was shaking, but I stayed
I was breaking, then I made
One clean line through the dark
One hard spark in my heart
[Chorus]
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
Watch me rise, watch me rise
Through the flame, through the flame
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
(Oh-oh) I was born to take this stage
[Bridge]
[Shredding Guitar Solo]
If I fall, I fall in light
If I burn, I burn alight
Every fear that bit my name
Turns to smoke, then leaves the frame
[Final Chorus]
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
Watch me rise, watch me rise
Through the flame, through the flame
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
(Oh-oh) I was born to take this stage
(I’m not afraid)
