Recertify Please V1

RECERTIFY Verse 1 Who still wears the ancient flame When the torch forgets its fire? Who still speaks the sacred name If the truth no longer rises higher? Stone may hold a thousand years But stone can weather, crack, divide What was built in faith and tears Must still prove what lives inside Pre-Chorus Do you still carry What you claim to be? Or only shadows Of remembered history? Chorus Recertify Before the banners touch the sky Recertify Let no borrowed glory testify Are you liberty? Are you love? Are you disciplined inquiry? Do your roots still rise above? Recertify Let no crown remain without an end No seal without an expiration No name beyond amend Verse 2 The robes, the flags, the towers tall Can echo louder than the soul But echoes are not proof at all If hollow halls replace the whole Every oath and every creed Every hand that claims to guide Must return to living seed And show what still survives inside Pre-Chorus What was given Must be earned again Not by memory But by what remains within Chorus Recertify Before the hymns become disguise Recertify Let no inheritance baptize Are you mercy? Are you truth? Are you reason unafraid of proof? Do you still become What you once called sacred youth? Recertify Let no throne outlive its claim No symbol stand eternal Without renewing flame Bridge (soft, haunting) If time is witness Then let time reveal What still can breathe What still can heal Not to destroy But to refine Not every old root dies Some still climb Final Chorus Recertify Let the mirrors testify Recertify Let the living answer why Are you freedom? Are you grace? Are you courage looking at its face? Then return Return And prove your name again.
