SONG BY BLACKTHORN RIOT Lyrics By Dorian Blackthorn, Ronan Mccalmont, Rikki Morningstar -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro – Low distorted bass pulse + Sharp violin stab] Don’t say a word. I’m not the one you rescue. [Verse 1 – Palm-muted guitars + heavy bass groove + Violin accent between lines] [Bass – Thump…Thump…] You see the scars across my skin But you don’t know the war within You call it dark, you call it wrong I’ve lived inside this storm too long [Violin – Slash] You say redemption waits for me But I don’t need your sympathy [Pre-Chorus – Bass builds pressure + Violin tremolo rising] No angels coming through the night I learned to live inside the fight [Chorus – FULL BAND — explosive + Violin Stab] Don’t save me tonight Don’t tell me how to live my life [Bass – Boom] I walked through fire just to breathe And every scar belongs to me Don’t save me tonight [Violin – cut] No halo left for you to steal I’d rather bleed than learn to kneel [Verse 2 – Groove heavy, bass dominant + Violin Strike] You hold the light like it’s a cure But nothing here is clean or pure [Bass – Thud! Thud!] I built my throne from shattered trust From broken faith and midnight dust Your mercy tastes like plastic grace I’d rather fall than fake my place [Pre-Chorus – Violin tremolo building tension] If heaven waits behind that door I don’t believe in it anymore [Chorus – Violin Stab + Bass Boom] Don’t save me tonight Don’t write my ending in your light I learned to crawl through broken streets Now I rise on bloody feet Don’t save me tonight [Violin – cut!] No saviors left in neon dreams Just gasoline and broken screams [Bridge – Drop to bass + violin only] [Bass – Boom…Boom…Boom…] [Violin solo — aggressive, crying, unstable] You call it wrong I call it mine You call it sin I call it life [Breakdown – Gang shouts + rhythmic violin hits] No angels No chains [Violin – stab!] No saviors No names [Bass – Boom] Still breathing Still wild [Final Chorus – DOUBLE CHORUS — maximum energy] Don’t save me tonight [Violin – Stab! Stab!] I’ve fought too long to lose this fight [Bass – Boom! Boom!] If freedom hurts then let it burn Every scar is something earned Don’t save me tonight [Violin – Scream!] I’ll face the dark, I’ll own the pain I built my life inside the flame [Outro – Band cuts] [Bass – Boom] [Last distorted violin note] Let the night decide.
