Stand Alone, Rise Together

[Intro] [slow build] [Verse 1] [man sings] Neon rain on broken streets, signals in my skin They can wire up the city, but they won’t get in Shadows scan the faces, telling us comply I keep walking through the static with no fear in my stride [Verse 2] [woman sings] I cut through the glow with fire locked in my eyes System wants surrender, but I live between the lies Standing in the silence, untouched by their design One spark in the circuit, and that spark is mine [Pre-Chorus] [duet] Sirens rising higher, pressure in the night One wrong move and they’ll try to kill the light Hold the line, hold the line We were never built to break this time [Chorus] [duet] I stand alone in the fire, chains break under my feet But when the real ones call, there’s no retreat in me No flags, no masters, just the pulse inside our chest Rise or fall, we do it our way, screw the rest [Verse 3] [alternating vocals] [man sings] You stepped from the shadows right into the flame [woman sings] I looked in your eyes and I knew we’re the same [man sings] They sent in their enforcers, thought we’d run or bend [woman sings] But I don’t bow easy, and I don’t break for them [man sings] We move through the chaos like a blade through the wire [woman sings] Side by side now, turning pressure into fire [duet] They came for the weak, now they answer to us No permission, no fear, no surrender, no trust [Verse 4] [duet] We don’t need a faction, never needed a name Just a circle of real ones who were built for the flame Modded hearts syncing in this neon-lit war Protecting our people, that’s what the fight is for [Bridge] [duet] They said we would fall if they split us apart But look what survived in the heat of the dark A spark in the system they can’t kill or contain Now it’s burning brighter every time they bring pain [Solo] [Final Chorus] [big duet] I stand alone in the fire, chains break under my feet But when the real ones call, there’s no retreat in me No flags, no masters, just the pulse inside our chest Rise or fall, we do it our way, screw the rest [Final Chorus - repeat, bigger] [duet] I stand alone in the fire, chains break under my feet But when the real ones call, there’s no retreat in me No flags, no masters, just the pulse inside our chest Rise or fall, we do it our way, fuck the rest [Outro] [soft duet] No chains left to break No fear left to fake We rise anyway We rise anyway
