[Verse 1]
Stone on stone, I’ve seen it crack
Whole years bending in my back
Flood in the lowlands, smoke in the hall
I kept my hands on the weight of it all
Boots in the mud, jaw set tight
Every scar learned how to bite
You send your fear, I send it back
One step forward through the black
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that crack in the ceiling?
Feel the ground start kneeling
No more chains, no more dread
I’m already past the edge
[Chorus]
Walls fall
Dams break
Screams reach the clouds
I stand ready
Against the darkness
Sword held high
Walls fall
Dams break
I don’t back down tonight
[Verse 2]
Ash on the fields, iron in rain
I wore the weight like a second name
You built your throne on a pile of lies
Now every lie is cutting ties
I know the shape of a final fight
I know the burn before the light
If I go down, I go all the way
But I’m still here when the dust turns gray
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that crack in the ceiling?
Feel the ground start kneeling
No more chains, no more dread
I’m already past the edge
[Chorus]
Walls fall
Dams break
Screams reach the clouds
I stand ready
Against the darkness
Sword held high
Walls fall
Dams break
I don’t back down tonight
[Bridge]
Let the fear come closer
Let it show its face
I’ve been forged in the pressure
I was made for this place
If the sky comes crashing
If the night holds fast
I’ll be the last one standing
And the first to strike back
[Final Chorus]
Walls fall
Dams break
Screams reach the clouds
I stand ready
Against the darkness
Sword held high
Walls fall
Dams break
I don’t back down tonight
Walls fall
Dams break
I don’t back down tonight
