[Verse 1] [clean arpeggio guitars double synth melody, soft horror choir pad, emotional vocal] We've been through storms Names on our tongues Hands on their shoulders Breath in our lungs I see your fear I feel it too But I'm not leaving I'm here with you [Pre-Chorus] [build tension, add chugging guitars, vocal gets raspy edge] (Instrumental / leave empty if you want) [Chorus] [aggressive attitude vocal, nasal quality on held notes, melodic hook, tight delivery, gritty screams - straightforward modern metal] We are stronger when we stand Fighting for our friends For the ones we love We don't break We bend Every scar Every cut Pulls our hearts in a tighter knot We unite We rise again We will never Ever stop [Verse 2] [guitar variation, ride cymbals, growing aggression, emotional storytelling vocal] Late-night calls Your voice Half-gone Saying you're tired Done being strong I light a flame Hold it up high Say "Lean on me We'll get through this time" [Pre-Chorus 2] [bigger build, double-time drums, layered guitars, vocal getting grittier] (Instrumental / ad-libs) [Chorus] [heavier guitars, extra harmonies, vocal belts with rasp, splash cymbals] We are stronger when we stand Fighting for our friends For the ones we love We don't break We bend Every scar Every cut Pulls our hearts in a tighter knot We unite We rise again We will never Ever stop [Bridge] [RAW aggressive shout, snarl and growl, attitude-driven, no theatrics] Side by side Name by name (YEAH!) Every loss FEEDS THE FLAME! If you fall TAKE MY HAND! One by one WE MAKE A BAND! [Guitar Solo] [shredding solo doubles synth melody, fast scales + emotional bends, drums back to full speed] [Final Chorus] [MAXIMUM intensity, aggressive attitude vocals with rasp, backing screams, choir + bells, full band] We are stronger when we stand Fighting for our friends For the ones we love We don't break We bend Every scar Every cut PULLS OUR HEARTS IN A TIGHTER KNOT! We unite We rise again We will never EVER STOP! (YEAH!) [Outro] [fade on clean guitar arpeggio, low choir, distant bell hit]
