[Intro, heavy riff builds slowly, drums kick in hard] [Verse 1, steady pace, gritty vocals] Don’t count me out for the pace I move fast -- leave no trace [FASTER] Head held low Where the cold winds blow I walk alone, I stand tall And I don’t, I don’t fear the fall [Pre-Chorus, rising intensity, bass pushes forward] [SLOWER] No stopping, no delay I know my way [SHORT SILENCE] [Chorus, full explosion, heavy riff + crashing drums] [FASTER BPM] ’Cause I carry what I own A spark in hand and the dark unknown And I’ll go further still Over every broken hill Still, still -- and I always will [Verse 2, slightly darker tone, tight rhythm] [SLOWER] Stars begin to fade Road wears thin, my steps unmade Half alive Staring down the edge tonight Either death or a bright kiss And I don’t -- I don’t fear the light [Pre-Chorus, building tension, guitar feedback swells] No stopping, no delay I know my way [SHORT SILENCE WITH GUITAR RIFF ONLY] [Chorus, powerful, louder guitars + driving drums] [FASTER] ’Cause I carry what I own A spark in hand and the dark unknown And I’ll go further still Over every broken hill Still, still -- and I always will [Bridge, half-time feel, clean guitar then builds heavy] [SLOWER] No need to run, no need to race I feel it now -- right here on my face Nothing can hold me down No force can turn me ‘round No chains, no ties, no fear This fire inside will never disappear [Guitar Solo, fast melodic riff, drums thunder beneath] [FASTER] [Final Chorus, maximum energy, wall of sound] ’Cause I carry what I own A spark in hand and the dark unknown And I’ll go further still Over every broken hill Still, still -- and I always will [Outro, main riff repeats, fades heavy & slow] Still, still… and I always will
