[Verse 1] I saw the sky split slow White on one side, black below Fallen feathers on the fence Ash in the churchyard dirt Your hands were shaking mine You said, “Don’t look away” But I saw the kings align On a world that’s wearing thin [Pre-Chorus] And I heard the thunder call Like a verdict in the walls Every prayer went up in sparks Every lie came back to marks [Chorus] I’ll stand, I’ll stand When heaven and hell both reach for land I’ll take the blade from your trembling hand I’ll stand, I’ll stand (stand, stand) If angels rise and devils claim I’ll keep my name I’ll stand [Verse 2] They came down through the smoke Gold crowns and broken horns Every street was split in two Every door had chosen sides But you were still right here Bruised, but you were breathing So I turned into the storm And I said, “You won’t be leaving” [Pre-Chorus] Now the towers bend and crack Under vows I’m sending back If the world is built on fear I will hold the line right here [Chorus] I’ll stand, I’ll stand When heaven and hell both reach for land I’ll take the blade from your trembling hand I’ll stand, I’ll stand (stand, stand) If angels rise and devils claim I’ll keep my name I’ll stand [Bridge] Let them fight above us Let them burn their pride I found a reason That won’t be moved aside One heartbeat, one promise One light in the wreck I was never made to kneel I was made to come back [Final Chorus] I’ll stand, I’ll stand When heaven and hell both reach for land I’ll take the blade from your trembling hand I’ll stand, I’ll stand (stand, stand) If angels rise and devils claim I’ll keep my name I’ll stand I’ll stand, I’ll stand (stand, stand) No crown can break The soul I name I’ll stand
