[Intro – heavy feedback, slow drum stomp] The sky is turning black tonight The fire burns with all its might [Verse 1 – chugging guitar riffs, low bass] I’m standing on the edge of broken glass Watching all the shadows of the past The city smoke is rising to the sun But the battle here has just begun [Verse 2 – building intensity, crashing cymbals] My hands are scarred and covered in the dust In this iron heart I place my trust The tattered red and white is in the wind I won't let the darkness settle in [Pre-Chorus – rising tension, fast snare] Even when the walls are falling down I will never leave this hallowed ground I can feel the thunder in my veins Breaking through the silence and the chains [Chorus – explosive power, soaring vocals] I will never surrender to the night I will be the spark that brings the light Through the ashes and the pouring rain I will rise above the hurt and pain [Interlude, Instrumental Solo] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 3 – gritty vocals, driving rhythm] The skyline looks like ghosts against the gold A story that has never yet been told I’m crouching in the ruins of the street But I won't accept a cold defeat [Pre-Chorus – building tension] Even when the walls are falling down I will never leave this hallowed ground I can feel the thunder in my veins Breaking through the silence and the chains [Chorus – maximum energy] I will never surrender to the night I will be the spark that brings the light Through the ashes and the pouring rain I will rise above the hurt and pain [Bridge – stripped back, heavy bass] When the world is torn apart Keep the fire in your heart Standing tall against the storm In the fire we are born [Solo – screaming guitar solo] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – anthemic, stadium sound] I will never surrender to the night I will be the spark that brings the light Through the ashes and the pouring rain I will rise above the hurt and pain [Outro – fading distortion, final drum hit] I am still standing here I will never disappear
