Prompt / Lyrics
Intro (Piano Only – sparse, minor key, distant thunder) (spoken / whispered, low) The storm doesn’t ask permission It just comes So does conviction ⸻ Verse 1 (Low baritone growl, restrained) I’ve been dragging chains through the silence Oil-stained hands, head bowed low Every warning light’s been screaming But I learned how not to know Dust on my knees in the tailgate shadow Night settling into my bones I felt the weight of heaven knocking But I told myself I was fine alone ⸻ Pre-Chorus (Growl softens, tension building) There’s a voice beneath the thunder Cutting through the noise I made Every time I turned away It called my name ⸻ Chorus (Clean vocals begin – wide, emotional, commanding) Don’t harden the call Don’t silence the flame If the storm is still speaking He’s not done with your name Every scar, every fall Still answers His voice Grace still sounds like mercy When the heart makes a choice Don’t harden the call ⸻ Verse 2 (Growl returns, heavier instrumentation) I’ve called Your warning weakness I’ve called Your truth a lie Mistook Your mercy for delay Thought I had more time Steel gets brittle when it won’t bend Engines die when lights go dark I didn’t lose You in the chaos I ignored You in my heart ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 (Half growl / half clean, storm swelling) Still You spoke through the ruin Through the ache I couldn’t kill Conviction like a lightning strike Breaking through my will ⸻ Chorus 2 (Full clean vocals, bigger, choir pad underneath) Don’t harden the call Don’t bury the sound If conviction still cuts deep You’re still holy ground Every breath, every wall Still trembles at grace Mercy doesn’t stop chasing Even men who run away Don’t harden the call ⸻ Bridge (Breakdown – growl returns, slow and crushing) This isn’t failure This is refusal This isn’t weakness This is pride You don’t fall past forgiveness You walk past it With your eyes wide (pause – instruments drop) If you still feel the thunder If the weight hasn’t left your chest That’s not judgment That’s mercy That’s the Spirit’s breath ⸻ Final Chorus (Clean vocals, anthemic, commanding) Don’t harden the call Today hear His voice The storm is still speaking So make the choice Lay the armor down Let the heart break free If you still feel conviction That’s grace calling you back to Me ⸻ Outro (Piano returns, soft clean vocal) The storm fades But the voice remains Don’t harden the call
