Verse 1
There's a darkness lurking deep within
Every corner, every shadow, where I've been
Keeps me frozen, keeps me haunted by the past
Fighting demons, but the shadows always last
Pre-Chorus
But in the silence, I hear a voice inside
Whispers to me, it’s time to turn the tide
Chorus
Rise against the shadows, break away the chains
Conquer all the fears, and wipe away the stains
Stand above the chaos, scream into the night
I won't be defeated, I'll turn darkness into light
Verse 2
Every step is heavy, dragging me below
Caught in this struggle, no place left to go
But the fire's burning, igniting from within
A spark of hope, a chance to begin again
Pre-Chorus
In the silence, I hear a voice that's clear
It tells me now, there’s nothing left to fear
Chorus
Rise against the shadows, break away the chains
Conquer all the fears, and wipe away the stains
Stand above the chaos, scream into the night
I won't be defeated, I'll turn darkness into light
Bridge
All the pain, all the scars, they’ve made me who I am
Through the storm, through the fire, I know now that I can
Take these broken wings and learn to fly again
I’ll lift my head, I won't be bound, this is where it ends
Chorus
Rise against the shadows, break away the chains
Conquer all the fears, and wipe away the stains
Stand above the chaos, scream into the night
I won't be defeated, I'll turn darkness into light
Outro
And when the shadows start to fall
I’ll stand my ground, I’ll heed the call
I’ll rise above, I won’t look back
Against the shadows, I’ll stay on track
