[Verse] Smoke curls like whispers on the edge of dawn Shadows dance where the brave are drawn Iron boots crush the dreams they spawn Still We rise Still We rise Wires hum with a static ache Truth buried deep in the steps we take A thousand sparks A system to break Still We rise Still We rise [Prechorus] They build their towers So tall So vain But thunder cracks It will bring the rain [Chorus] Brick by brick We tear it down No more silence No more crown Echoes of the fallen sound Still We rise Still We rise [Verse 2] Neon bleeds through a fractured sky Pulse of the city A war-cry sigh Glass and steel reflect the lie But we see Oh we see Broken circuits and flickering screens Truth buried beneath their gleam We’re the glitch in their machine And we breathe Oh we breathe
