[VERSE 1 — RAP]
I stayed awake while the world fell asleep/
Watching wolves disguise themselves as sheep/
Everybody wants peace but nobody stands/
Everybody wants change but won't use their hands/
I've seen fear turn kings into cowards/
Seen greed tear apart the strongest towers/
Now the smoke fills the sky and the lines are drawn/
And the few who remain have to carry on.
[PRE-CHORUS — METAL]
I won't kneel!
I won't break!
I won't disappear!
[CHORUS — FULL BAND]
I stand vigil!
Through the fire and the rain/
I stand vigil!
Through the loss and through the pain/
When the darkness calls my name/
I refuse to be afraid.
I stand vigil!
I stand vigil!
[VERSE 2 — RAP]
They can silence a voice but not a movement/
They can slow us down but they can't stop improvement/
Every scar on my skin is a lesson learned/
Every bridge that collapsed left another to burn/
I've been counted out/
I've been left behind/
But pressure creates the strongest minds/
And every setback became another reason/
To keep believing.
[PRE-CHORUS — METAL]
I won't bend!
I won't fade!
I won't disappear!
[CHORUS — FULL BAND]
I stand vigil!
Through the fire and the rain/
I stand vigil!
Through the loss and through the pain/
When the darkness calls my name/
I refuse to be afraid.
I stand vigil!
I stand vigil!
[BREAKDOWN]
METAL:
STAND!
RAP:
When they said we'd fall/
We survived.
METAL:
STAND!
RAP:
When they buried us/
We survived.
METAL:
STAND!
BOTH:
WE ARE STILL HERE!
[FINAL CHORUS]
I stand vigil!
Through the fire and the rain/
I stand vigil!
Through the loss and through the pain/
When the darkness calls my name/
I refuse to be afraid.
I stand vigil!
I stand vigil!
Still standing!
