Smoke fills the sky, no stars tonight
The ground is cold, no end in sight
They said, "It’s done, no use to try"
But I’m still breathing, still alive
Wounds unhealed, heart worn thin
Every loss beneath my skin
They wait for me to disappear
But I was built to stand right here
Let the dark say what it will
I’m still fire, I’m still steel
Even when the light is gone
I will fight, I will hold on
Even when the silence screams
I will chase the dying dream
This war may never heal
But I will never kneel
I wasn’t made to break or fade
I was born to face the blade
They see a fool, they see the end
But I see what they can't defend
A spark, a breath, a silent vow
To rise again — I don't know how
One step forward through the pain
One more heartbeat in the rain
Even when the light is gone
I will fight, I will hold on
Even when the silence screams
I will chase the dying dream
This war may never heal
But I will never kneel
I wasn’t made to break or fade
I was born to face the blade
Let the ashes fall like snow
Let the world forget what it knows
But I’ll still rise with bleeding hands
And take one more final stand
Even when all hope is thin
I will roar from deep within
Even when they turn away
I will burn and light the way
This war may never heal
But I will never kneel
You can take the sky and sun
But I… I will not run
