Rising Shadows

[Intro]
Lightning in my lungs
Storm across the sky
Breath tastes like iron
I decide who survives

[Verse 1]
Boots slam
Cracked ground shakes
Ash in the air
Hearts quake
Steel in my grip
Hands ache
But I won’t bend
I won’t break

Smoke claws up my back
Eyes locked
Never slack
Fear tries to drag me back
I run straight through the black

[Chorus]
Rising shadows
I stand in the fire
Turn my scars into sharpened wire
Every fall feeds a higher desire
Rising shadows
I’m only climbing higher

[Verse 2]
Old ghosts in my veins
Call out my hidden names
Chains rattling
Bright flames
I cut through every frame

You swing with all your hate
I carve my own new fate
Face to face with that gate
I kick it wide
I won’t wait

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[fast guitar riff]
[heavy bass drop]
Heartbeat racing the war drum sound
If I go down
I go swinging out
Teeth bared
One breath
One shout
“I’m still here” as the lights burn out

[Chorus]
