[Verse 1] I’ve been knocked down, but I won’t stay low, Bruised and broken, but I still won’t fold. They say surrender, but I spit in their face, I’ll carve my name in time and space. [Pre-Chorus] Every scar is a battle cry, Every fall fuels the fire inside. I won’t fade, I won’t break, I’ll rise again, make no mistake! [Chorus] Defeat is the enemy I won't let it win I'll rise like a storm let the battle begin Every scar's a story every bruise a fight I’ll keep on pushing through the night (GO!) Defeat is the enemy, I won’t let it win, I’ll fight ‘til the end, through the thick and the thin. No chains, no fear, no voice in my head, I’ll stand my ground ‘til the last breath is spent! [Vocalization] [Verse 2] They build their walls, but I tear them down, They drown the truth, but I won’t be bound. I hear the echoes of doubt and regret, But I light the fuse, I won’t forget! [Pre-Chorus] Every scar is a battle cry, Every fall fuels the fire inside. I won’t fade, I won’t break, I’ll rise again, make no mistake! [Chorus] Defeat is the enemy I won't let it win I'll rise like a storm let the battle begin Every scar's a story every bruise a fight I’ll keep on pushing through the night (GO!) Defeat is the enemy, I won’t let it win, I’ll fight ‘til the end, through the thick and the thin. No chains, no fear, no voice in my head, I’ll stand my ground ‘til the last breath is spent! [Interlude] [Bridge - raw, gritty, screaming] The whispers try to drag me down But I won't wear their heavy crown I’ll drown their noise with my own roar A force they’ve never faced before (OH! NEVER BEFORE!) I see the vultures circling high, Waiting for me to lay down and die. But I won’t give them what they crave, I’ll dig my heels into the grave! [Pre-Chorus] Defeat is the enemy… Defeat is the enemy… Defeat is the enemy… I will never give in. [Final Chorus - Big, anthemic, gang vocals] Defeat is the enemy, I won’t let it win, I’ll fight ‘til the end, through the thick and the thin. No chains, no fear, no voice in my head, I’ll stand my ground ‘til the last breath is spent! [Outro - Fading, raw, whispering] Defeat is the enemy… Defeat is the enemy… Defeat is the enemy… I will never give in.
