Lyrics

I’ve been buried under voices
That never spoke my name
The mirror shows a stranger
With a face I learned to hate
I tried to hold the line
But the line was made of glass
Every promise that I made
Was shattered in the past
I feel the pressure in my veins
Like lightning under skin
If I don’t scream it out tonight
I’ll let the darkness win
I won’t break, I won’t bend, I won’t fall tonight
I’m still breathing in the ashes of the fight
You tried to bury me alive
ICH STEHE HIER, ICH BIN NICHT SCHWACH
DEIN HASS BRENNT, DOCH ICH BIN WACH
ZERSTÖR DIE ANGST, DIE MICH UMHÜLLT
ICH BIN DER STURM, DER EUCH ERFÜLLT
Your words were knives in shadows
Cutting deeper than the truth
You fed me lies in silver
Called it love, called it youth
Now I rise from the wreckage
With fire in my hands
You built my cage from fear
Now watch me tear the bands
The weight you gave my soul
Turned into gasoline
One spark and I explode
Into something you’ve never seen
I won’t break, I won’t bend, I won’t fall tonight
I’m still breathing in the ashes of the fight
You tried to bury me alive
ICH STEHE HIER, ICH BIN NICHT SCHWACH
DEIN HASS BRENNT, DOCH ICH BIN WACH
ZERSTÖR DIE ANGST, DIE MICH UMHÜLLT
ICH BIN DER STURM, DER EUCH ERFÜLLT
SCHWEIG!
DU HAST MICH NIE VERSTANDEN!
BRECHT DIE KETTEN!
ICH BIN NICHT MEHR GEFANGEN!
If I fall, I’ll fall forward
If I bleed, I’ll bleed light
You taught me how to suffer
So I learned how to fight
I won’t break, I won’t bend, I won’t fall tonight
I’m still breathing in the ashes of the fight
You tried to bury me alive
ICH STEHE HIER, ICH BIN NICHT SCHWACH
DEIN HASS BRENNT, DOCH ICH BIN WACH
ZERSTÖR DIE ANGST, DIE MICH UMHÜLLT
ICH BIN DER STURM, DER EUCH ERFÜLLT
