Verse 1 Boots in the dirt, and the night on my breath, I walked too long with the whisper of death. Every lie in the dark tried to pull me below, But I clawed my way up from the undertow. Pre‑Chorus (haunting harmonies, AIC‑style) Shadows tried to own me… But they don’t control me… Chorus (big, gritty, distorted) No more running through the shadows, No more bowing to the fear I fed. I’ve been forged inside the fire, Where the weak parts of me bled. Let the darkness fall behind me, Let the sunrise take its hold. No more running through the shadows — I’m walking out bold. Verse 2 I felt the cold steel bite of the chains I wore, But the break came sudden like a lion’s roar. Now the ground shakes under every step I take, I’m a storm rolling in that the night can’t break. Pre‑Chorus (stacked harmonies, eerie and thick) Shadows tried to claim me… But they couldn’t name me… Chorus (heavier, more aggressive) No more running through the shadows, No more bowing to the fear I fed. I’ve been forged inside the fire, Where the weak parts of me bled. Let the darkness fall behind me, Let the sunrise take its hold. No more running through the shadows — I’m walking out bold. Bridge (slow, crushing, emotional grit) I’m done with the silence, I’m done with the shame. I buried the old me, I rose from the flame. If the night wants a battle, Let it come, let it come — I’ve already won. Final Chorus (massive, layered, triumphant) No more running through the shadows, No more hiding from the man I am. I’ve been carried through the fire By a stronger, steadier hand. Let the darkness fall behind me, Let the sunrise take control. No more running through the shadows — I’m walking out whole.
