[Verse 1] The world outside is a maze of broken glass, A labyrinth of shadows where nothing can last. They hunt in the static, they whisper in the dark, Searching for a fire, a hopeful, lonely spark. I pulled the blinds and I locked every door, Trying to be something they couldn't stand for. Alone in the silence, I felt the cold air, Like I was a ghost and no one was there. [Pre-Chorus] Then I felt the tremors, a resonance deep, A rhythm of hearts that the silence couldn't keep. A signal was sent on a frequency true, From the ones who stood with me, the ones just like you. [Chorus] This isn't the blood that runs in my veins, It's a shield from the tempest, a shelter from rains. It's Bloodlines of Solace, a fortress for us, A promise to stand in the face of disgust. It's every hand held when the fear starts to rise, The truth in the sorrow, the light in the eyes. It's a family of choice, a bond that's defined, Not by blood, but by spirit, body, and mind. [Verse 2] They wanted our anger to be all we could find, To turn us against our own flesh and our kind. They told us that kinship was only a name, A digital record, a meaningless game. But I saw your face in the flickering screen, And knew that the hatred wasn't what it had to mean. That love was a weapon, and kindness a sword, A truth that was stronger than all of their words. [Pre-Chorus] I felt the tremors, a resonance deep, A rhythm of hearts that the silence couldn't keep. A signal was sent on a frequency true, From the ones who stood with me, the ones just like you. [Chorus] This isn't the blood that runs in my veins, It's a shield from the tempest, a shelter from rains. It's Bloodlines of Solace, a fortress for us, A promise to stand in the face of disgust. It's every hand held when the fear starts to rise, The truth in the sorrow, the light in the eyes. It's a family of choice, a bond that's defined, Not by blood, but by spirit, body, and mind. [Bridge] They thought they could break us, they thought they could tear us apart. But they didn't count on the strength of a broken heart. We are the broken, the lost, and the found. We're building our family on hallowed ground. Every scar is a story, every tear is a vow, We're here for each other, and we're starting now. [Instrumental outro] [Chorus] This isn't the blood that runs in my veins, It's a shield from the tempest, a shelter from rains. It's Bloodlines of Solace, a fortress for us, A promise to stand in the face of disgust. It's every hand held when the fear starts to rise, The truth in the sorrow, the light in the eyes. It's a family of choice, a bond that's defined, Not by blood, but by spirit, body, and mind.
