[Intro]
[spoken
Low] I am
In the crack between seconds
I am
Where the drum keeps count
[Verse 1]
Boot prints
In the red dust
Still warm
Old flags
Torn down in the storm
You feel
That cold hand at your back
You hear
Your own name in the black
[Chorus]
Called to resist
Called to resist
Heart like a hammer
Fist in a kiss
Move forward
Through the fire and the mist
You are
You are
Called to resist
[Verse 2]
Closed eyes
But the fever keeps you wired
Grim smile
Walking straight into the fire
They chant
All the words that make you small
You stand
Hear the drum inside the wall
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[toms and bass
Half‑time]
[spoken
Building] I am
Not the fear they sold me
I am
Not a number on a list
I am
Every step that won’t step backward
I am
Every broken chain on your wrist
[low vocal register
Shouted under] Move forward
Move forward
[Chorus]
