Veins Of Fire

[Intro] They fed us silence with a smile Wrote our names in dust and lies But shadows bloom beneath the light And roots can crack the sky [Verse 1] They dressed the truth in silver chains Told us we were born to obey But I hear drums beneath my skin Calling louder every day [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] I won’t kneel to their illusions I won’t fade into confusion I’ve tasted fear, and it tastes like... [Chorus] I’ve got veins of fire, I burn through lies A thousand voices rise inside No more chains, no more disguise I’m the storm they tried to hide No more silent, no more still I’ve got a voice, and I’ve got will We are the wild, we are the light We are the truth they tried to kill [Instrumental] [Verse 2] They spoke in mirrors, tricked our sight Sewed our dreams with crooked thread But we remembered how to fight When they thought we all were dead [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus 2] We won’t dance to their delusions We are done with their illusions Truth is louder than their noise And love is... [Chorus (Repeat)] [Bridge] They tried to break the sky But stars don’t ask to shine And every tear they claimed Is now a war cry in my mind (Build to almost screaming whisper) Oh-oh-ohhhh... (layer harmonies) We are not afraid... (repeat 2x) [Final Chorus] I’ve got veins of fire, I burn through lies A thousand voices rise inside No more chains, no more disguise I’m the storm they tried to hide No more silent, no more still I’ve got a voice, and I’ve got will We are the wild, we are the light We are the truth they tried to kill (Hold out) We are the truth... They tried to kill— [Outro]
