[Verse 1]
Cracked halo
Blood on the frame of the door
Name on a list
I never asked to be born for this war
You call them lost
I call them taken
You say "forget"
I stay awakened
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar
A quiet census of the graves
Every breath
Is one more vow I misbehave
[Chorus]
I am the fist for the broken
For the damned
I won't back down
Every curse you ever spoke
I wear it like a stolen crown
If they fall into your fire
I will drag them from your flames
I am the knife in the open
Carving hope into their names (into their names)
[Verse 2]
Bent prayers
Rust on the edges of faith
You sell peace
But only offer a cage
You write their fate
In ink that smells like fear
I tear the page
And make their silence disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
Every chain
Is just a question I can break
Every cry
A warning you made a mistake
[Chorus]
I am the fist for the broken
For the damned
I won't back down
Every curse you ever spoke
I wear it like a stolen crown
If they fall into your fire
I will drag them from your flames
I am the knife in the open
Carving hope into their names
[Bridge]
Come take your throne back
(come and take it)
I’ll burn it to ash in your hands
You feed on the weak
But I'm starving for
Every soul you think you own
I stand
Between your teeth and their last breath
Between your hate and what comes next
[Chorus]
I am the fist for the broken
For the damned
I won't back down (won't back down)
Every curse you ever spoke
I wear it like a stolen crown
If they fall into your fire
I will drag them from your flames
I am the knife in the open
Carving hope into their names (into their names)
