[Verse 1] Nails in my nerves Teeth on the curb of my doubt Head full of static and shame Every thought like a shout Draggin’ my chains Through the mud of my own mistakes But Your scars keep cuttin’ through Every fear that wakes [Pre-Chorus] Pressure rises Like thunder in my chest Every whisper says “give in” But I’m not impressed [Chorus] You are my war cry You are my name Blood-bought banner Roaring through my veins Jesus My fortress Fire in my lungs My strength My victory Forever on my tongue [Verse 2] Fists in the dark Swingin’ at ghosts in my head Old lies circle like crows Tryin’ to feast on the dead I taste the ash Of the man that I used to be But You storm the grave in me And drag me to my knees [Pre-Chorus] Storm is breaking I feel the heavens shake Every demon starts to tremble At the sound You make [Chorus] You are my war cry You are my name Blood-bought banner Roaring through my veins Jesus My fortress Fire in my lungs My strength My victory Forever on my tongue [Breakdown] [Drums drop to half-time Guitars slam into syncopated chugs] This is war Not a game we play (hey!) Truth cuts deep Drives the dark away I won’t bow To the voice of shame I’m bought. I’m sealed I bear Your name (HEY!) Lies fall flat When You stand in the flame (HEY!) Hell backs down When I call Your name [Chant Breakdown] Crowd: Jesus is my strength I will not break Jesus is my banner I will not shake Jesus is my victory Hell won’t reign Jesus is my lifeline Through the war in my veins [Chorus] You are my war cry You are my name Blood-bought banner Roaring through my veins Jesus My fortress Fire in my lungs My strength My victory Forever on my tongue
