Lyrics: [Intro] (soft, smoldering — a single ember breathing in the dark before the storm) [Verse 1] The storm came hunting for the spark I carry low, it learned my name and swore it'd drag me down below. But buried in my ribs there burns a stubborn coal — you stoke it, midnight, and you only feed my soul. [Pre-Chorus] So pour your thunder, drown the ground I'm standing on — the fire in my marrow doesn't ask the dawn. [Chorus] I will not kneel. Let the heavens break their teeth against my will — the ember in my bones is burning still. Drown the world in iron, I will not kneel. [Verse 2] You sent your rivers rising just to snuff my flame, you wore the faces of my fear and called my name. But ash has never asked the wind for its consent — each blow you strike just hammers out the man I meant. [Pre-Chorus] So pour your thunder, salt the field where I was sown — the fire in my marrow forges me a throne. [Chorus] I will not kneel. Let the heavens break their teeth against my will — the ember in my bones is burning still. Drown the world in iron, I will not kneel. [Bridge] (the turn — quiet, then rising) And maybe I was never meant to win the night, maybe the storm and I were always carved from light. You are not my ruin — you're the forge I needed most; I thank the flood that taught my fire how to hold. [Final Chorus] I will not kneel. Let the heavens break their teeth against my will — the ember in my bones is burning still. Drown the world in iron — still I will not kneel. [Outro] (roared, then fading to a single glowing breath) The storm forgets the names of all it drowns, but the fire remembers. I will not kneel. #MetalAnthem #InnerStrength #PowerMetal #BareStringsAI #RiseUp
