# Emberclaw [Style: Celtic-core pop punk / alt rock — fiddle and tin whistle riffs layered over driving electric guitar, punchy drums, gang-vocal "hey"s in the chorus] [Intro] [Fiddle riff, quick and sharp, guitar crashes in] Small little spark, big little roar — I'm not what you think I'm made for. [Verse 1] [Punchy, confident vocal] I'm barely the size of your hand, so what? I've still got fire behind my claws. They call me a kitten, they laugh when I hiss, They haven't seen me answer the call. I found her half-broken beneath the vines, I didn't ask if she needed me — I just climbed right up to her shoulder and stayed, 'Cause that's who I'm built to be. [Pre-Chorus] [Building, tight vocal, fiddle climbing] So call me small, call me nothing, I'll show you what that means — I burn for the ones I'm loving, I'm louder than I seem. [Chorus] [Big, anthemic, gang vocals on "hey"] I'm Emberclaw, I'm small but I don't run (HEY!) I'm Emberclaw, I fight for everyone (HEY!) You can laugh at the size of my paws, Just watch what I do with my claws — I'm hers, I'm here, I'm the fire when it's done, Emberclaw, Emberclaw, I'm the one. [Verse 2] [Playful, a little bouncy] She scratches behind my ears when it's quiet, I curl in the folds of her coat. But the second the shadows start crawling in closer, I'm claws-out, I'm first, I'm afloat. I'm not her protector because someone told me, I chose it the day that we met. Underestimate me — go on, I dare you, I've got teeth you haven't seen yet. [Pre-Chorus] [Building, tight vocal, fiddle climbing] So call me small, call me nothing, I'll show you what that means — I burn for the ones I'm loving, I'm louder than I seem. [Chorus] [Big, anthemic, gang vocals on "hey"] I'm Emberclaw, I'm small but I don't run (HEY!) I'm Emberclaw, I fight for everyone (HEY!) You can laugh at the size of my paws, Just watch what I do with my claws — I'm hers, I'm here, I'm the fire when it's done, Emberclaw, Emberclaw, I'm the one. [Bridge] [Stripped to fiddle and vocal, then guitar crashes back in] They think loyalty's a quiet thing, Something soft, something small — But mine's a flame that doesn't flicker, Mine's a roar behind the wall. I'd stand between her and the whole wide sky, I'd burn until there's nothing left — So don't you dare call me nothing, I'm every breath she's got left. [Chorus — final, full band, extra gang vocals] [Explosive, everything in] I'm Emberclaw, I'm small but I don't run HEY!! I'm Emberclaw, I fight for everyone HEY!! You can laugh at the size of my paws, Just watch what I do with my claws — I'm hers, I'm here, I'm the fire when it's done, Emberclaw, Emberclaw, I'm the one! (Emberclaw!) I'm the one. [Outro] [Fiddle and guitar trade off, fading fast] Small little spark, big little roar — Yeah, I'm exactly what I'm made for.
