Lyrics:

Spoken Intro:
Do you hear them?
The voices in the ash
The echoes in the dark
The names the wind still carries

Verse:
The weight of silence bends the earth in mourning
Shadows trace the ruins of the dawn
Every step I take is carved in sorrow
Every dream a monument to what is gone

Verse:
I hear the whispers calling from the stone
They name me coward
They name me strong
They teach me loss is never flown —
It lingers, burns
And drags me on

Pre-Chorus:
But from the ashes, a trembling spark…
A vow is written in the dark

Chorus:
Whispers in the gloom, I will not bow
From grief I forge my vow
The weight that crushed my soul becomes my shield
In sorrow’s fire, my spirit is revealed
I will not bow…

Bridge:
They said I was broken… But I will rise
They named me silence… But hear my cries
In the ruin, I found my flame
A strength reborn, no longer the same

Chorus:
Whispers in the gloom, I will not bow
From grief I forge my vow
The weight that crushed my soul becomes my shield
In sorrow’s fire, my spirit is revealed
I will not bow…

Verse:
Through hollow halls I walk alone
Yet shadows guard me, flesh and bone
Their voices rise in every breath
A legion marching out of death

Pre-Chorus:
Though grief still binds my weary chest
I roar — I fight — I will not rest!

Chorus:
Whispers in the gloom, I will not bow
From grief I forge my vow
The weight that crushed my soul becomes my shield
In sorrow’s fire, my spirit is revealed
I will not bow…

Bridge:
The night unleashed its storm of knives
It carved my heart, but I survived
The echoes called me slave to pain
But I broke the chains, I bear the flame
From every loss a pillar stands
From every scar, unbroken hands
No grave, no void, can silence me —
In the heart of ruin, I am free

Verse:
Do you hear them?
The voices still remain…
But now they sing of what I’ve conquered
Not only what I’ve lost

Final Chorus:
Whispers in the gloom, I still stand tall
Through sorrow, I hear the call
The weight that bound my soul is set aside
And in the silence… Love will still abide
And I still stand tall…
