Lyrics By: J.G. Argo ©2026 [Intro – Atmospheric / Spoken or Sung Soft] We were told to kneel… To obey… To fear… But something in us woke up. [Verse 1] We opened our eyes, we saw the chains, Questioned the stories, broke the reins. The sacred lies, the hidden cost, They built their kingdoms on what we lost. We swallowed fire, we learned the game, They sold us heaven, they branded shame. But truth kept knocking on our door, And we can’t unhear the lies no more. [Pre-Chorus] No more shadows, no more disguise, No more answers built on lies. We tore the veil, we saw the flame, And nothing now will be the same. [Chorus] (Anthem / Chant) We rise, we shine, No chains, no throne, no lies. Through the fire, through the flame, Our truth remains — our truth remains! We rise, we shine, They lose the crown, we take our lives. Let it burn, let it change, Our truth remains — our truth remains! [Verse 2] They built their altars out of fear, Sold us answers to keep us near. Called it love, but ruled with threat, A debt they said we’d never forget. Brick by brick, the idols fall, The holy walls begin to crawl. What once was sacred fades to gray, We found our voice, we found our way. [Pre-Chorus 2] No more silence, no more shame, No more guilt in heaven’s name. We claimed our minds, we claimed our breath, We chose our life, not holy death. [Chorus] (Bigger) We rise, we shine, No chains, no throne, no lies. Through the fire, through the flame, Our truth remains — our truth remains! We rise, we shine, They lose the crown, we take our lives. Let it burn, let it change, Our truth remains — our truth remains! [Bridge] (Emotional / Mic-Drop) They sold us heaven to control the earth, Called it love, but they branded hurt. They called it faith — we call it fear, Holy words to keep us near. I begged a god who never spoke, Prayed myself into a holy yoke. I wasn’t broken — I was trained, Now I rise with a shattered chain. [Breakdown – Near Silence] (Music drops to pad/piano) We were never broken… We were buried. (Half beat of silence) Now dig us up. [Final Chorus – Massive / Choir] We rise, we shine, No chains, no throne, no lies. Through the fire, through the flame, Our truth remains — our truth remains! We rise, we shine, They lose the crown, we take our lives. Let it burn, let it change, Our truth remains — our truth remains! (Choir repeats: “Our truth remains!”) [Outro – Haunting / Fading] The lies dissolve… The light survives… We are free… We are alive.
