Wake the Fire

(ritualistic piano, distant choir, slow build)

Low lights, cold breath

Hear the drums in my chest

Something stirring in the dark

Calling out my name

(clean guitar, low piano pulse)

Ash in the air, I taste the fire

Broken ground under my feet

Voices crawl through the static

Whispering what I’m meant to be

Shadows move in the corner

Time don’t breathe down here

Every step feels heavier

But I’m still standing here

(piano drops out, drums rising)

Heart still beating in the black

Eyes adjust, I don’t look back

(full distorted guitars, anthemic)

I survive the hell they made

Through the flame, through the pain

Feel the power start to rise

In my blood, in my veins

If this world wants me dead

I’ll wake the fire instead

(chant-like backing vocals)

Wake it up

Wake it up

(distorted bass, dark piano accents)

Hands are shaking but I’m focused

Every scar wrote my name

I’ve been dragged through the darkness

Now the darkness feels afraid

Sirens screaming in my head

But the fear’s wearing thin

Every breath pulls me closer

To the strength underneath

(drums building, tension rising)

I’ve been buried, I’ve been bent

Now I feel what I am

(full band, heavier)

I survive the hell they made

Through the flame, through the pain

Feel the power start to rise

In my blood, in my veins

If this world wants me dead

I’ll wake the fire instead

(stomp rhythm, muted guitars)

No way out

No way home

Built from bone

Carved in stone

(open guitars, rising chaos)

No way out

No retreat

I stand tall

On my feet

(ritual piano returns, low strings)

No escape, no relief

Just the choice to break or breathe

From the ashes, from the grave

I decide who I become

(slow build to explosion)

This curse, this place

Won’t seal my fate

I take the dark

And make it bend

(piano arpeggio, heartbeat drums)

Feel it now

In the ground

In the sound

In the blood

(max distortion, layered vocals)

I survive the hell they made

I don’t bow, I don’t break

Every wound turned to a weapon

Every loss turned to faith

If this world wants me dead

I’ll wake the fire instead

(piano fading, ambient echoes)

From the smoke, from the flame

I rise unafraid

Hell couldn’t hold me down

I walk away
