[Intro] [Drums count in Feedback swell] This is a war cry Not backing down Not backing down [Verse 1] Teeth clenched Heart racing like thunder Hands shake But I won’t go under Voices in my skull Spitting doubt Spitting venom in my veins But I’m marked by the blood You can carve that on my chains [Chorus] I will stand firm in the fire I will not bow to the fear in my chest In the roar In the riot Christ is my courage My banner of rest When the night screams When the ground breaks I plant my feet in the mercy that saves I will stand firm in the fire I will not break (I will not break!) [Verse 2] Fists up Breath burning like acid Storm swirls Every thought turning rabid Shadow in the mirror Says I’m too far gone this time But Your word cuts deeper Than the blade of every lie [Chorus] I will stand firm in the fire I will not bow to the fear in my chest In the roar In the riot Christ is my courage My banner of rest When the night screams When the ground breaks I plant my feet in the mercy that saves I will stand firm in the fire I will not break (I will not break!) [Bridge] [Breakdown kicks in Half-time] Fear Fall back You have no throne here (hey!) Grave Fall flat Your king is overthrown here (hey!) Darkness Choke On every holy breath I take Name above my every ache Jesus Jesus [Final Breakdown] I am not my shame I am not my scars I am claimed By the Maker of the stars When the chaos comes Let the earth shake wide I will rise I will roar Christ inside [Chorus] I will stand firm in the fire I will not bow to the fear in my chest In the roar In the riot Christ is my courage My banner of rest When the night screams When the ground breaks I plant my feet in the mercy that saves I will stand firm in the fire I will not break (I will not break!) [Outro] [All voices Unison shout] Not backing down Not backing down In Christ alone I’m standing my ground
