[VERSE 1] The silence feels like steel against my skin A stillness where the breaking starts within I breathe the quiet like a warning in my lungs A battlefield disguised as being calm [PRE‑CHORUS] Every heartbeat sharpening the blade Every whisper bending into rage I’m the shadow that refuses to stay small I’m the storm inside the calm before it falls [CHORUS] I’m the rage during the calm The fire in the quiet, the fracture in the dawn When the world goes still, I ignite I’m the war beneath the white light I’m the rage during the calm The pulse that breaks the silence when everything feels wrong [VERSE 2] The quiet cracks like ice beneath my feet Pressure building where the dark and daylight meet I feel the tremor rising through my bones A warning shot that no one else has known [PRE‑CHORUS] Every heartbeat sharpening the blade Every whisper bending into rage I’m the shadow that refuses to stay small I’m the storm inside the calm before it falls [CHORUS] I’m the rage during the calm The fire in the quiet, the fracture in the dawn When the world goes still, I ignite I’m the war beneath the white light I’m the rage during the calm The pulse that breaks the silence when everything feels wrong [BRIDGE — BIG METAL HORN + GUITAR BUILD] Still waters hide the violence Still skies disguise defiance Still hearts can burn the brightest I rise — I rise — I rise [FINAL CHORUS — DARK HORN FILL] I’m the rage during the calm The fire in the quiet, the fracture in the dawn When the silence tries to swallow me whole I tear it open with a roar I’m the rage during the calm The pulse that breaks the silence when everything feels wrong ---
