[Intro] Stone under my boots, cold breath in the air The mountain keeps its silence, but I know it's there Years left scars across my hands Tonight I rise by my own command [Verse 1] I carried every failure like a blade beneath my coat Kept my promise in the ashes, kept my balance when I broke No crown waiting at the summit No one calling out my name I am done with asking permission I am finished with the blame [Pre-Chorus] Hear the ground begin to shake Feel the weight I will not break Every step, a vow renewed Every wound has brought me through [Chorus] We climb, we climb, where the black sky bends With the fire of a thousand ends Let the old world watch us rise We were buried, now we strike the skies No retreat, no surrender, no chains remain We turn defeat into a burning flame At the edge of the highest stone We take the summit, we take our throne [Instrumental Drop] [Verse 2] Now the silence has a target and the target bears my face I can feel the walls collapsing as I accelerate Steel rhythm in my heartbeat Red dust in my eyes Every obstacle is smaller Every warning is a lie [Pre-Chorus] Raise the signal, split the night Pull the darkness into light Let the pressure flood the veins We are forged inside the strain [Chorus] We climb, we climb, where the black sky bends With the fire of a thousand ends Let the old world watch us rise We were buried, now we strike the skies No retreat, no surrender, no chains remain We turn defeat into a burning flame At the edge of the highest stone We take the summit, we take our throne [Breakdown] One breath One step The whole world beneath my chest No fear No doubt I was made to find a way out [Build] Higher Higher Make the mountain hear our names Higher Higher We are more than what we came from [Final Chorus] We climb, we climb, and the storm gives way All the years of defeat decay Let the whole horizon know We became the force we feared below No retreat, no surrender, no chains remain We turn defeat into a burning flame At the top where the cold winds roar We stand unbroken forevermore [Finale] We take the summit We take the summit Every obstacle is gone We take the summit We take the summit And the night gives birth to dawn
