Verse 1 (soft, airy) In the quiet before the flame I could feel it call my name Shadows creeping at the edge Crossing every sacred thread Pre-Chorus I won’t run, I won’t break Not this time, not today… Chorus (emotional, rising) Light the fire in the dark Even if it leaves a mark I will stand, I won’t fall I can hear the final call Through the ash, through the flame I remember who I am Even when the night takes hold I won’t let my soul be sold Verse 2 (slightly darker tone) Every whisper bends the truth Every lie comes dressed in proof But I see beyond the veil And I know this war too well BREAKDOWN (drop everything out) (low drone, wind, distant rumble) [Spoken Word – deep, echoing] “As above… so below…” BUILD / FINAL CHORUS (bigger, powerful) I won’t bow, I won’t fade I was not born to be afraid Through the fire, through the end I will rise again… again… Light the fire in the dark Let it tear the night apart If the world falls to its knees I will stand and I’ll believe OUTRO (soft again, echoing) In the silence… I remain… Not the same… not the same…
