Lyrics

I have known fear
I have worn it like a second skin

I’ve walked through halls of screaming stone
Where prayers went unanswered
Held the weight of dying worlds
On shoulders born to shatter

I’ve buried friends in foreign ground
Said goodbye without a sound
Every loss carved in my chest
Still, I’m standing now

If the dark is all that waits for me
Then I’ll meet it on my feet
I’ve been broken down to bone and breath
But I am not weak

I will not be afraid
Not of death, not of fate
Not of gods who look away
I will not be afraid
Let the night know my name
Let the storm feel my flame
I’ve lost everything I loved
Still—I will not be afraid

I’ve felt the cold of iron crowns
Pressed against my throat
Watched empires rot from power
Built on lies and ghosts

They tried to teach me how to kneel
Mistook my heart for steel
But fire learns to breathe in ash
And still be real

If the cost is all I have to give
Then I’ll pay it unashamed
I’ve stared down ruin, blood, and gods
And I remained

I will not be afraid
Not of pain, not of chains
Not of promises that break
I will not be afraid
I was born from the flame
I was forged in the pain
If the world ends at my feet
I will not be afraid

Let them come
Let them see
Every scar remembers me

I have bled
I have burned
I have lived long enough to learn

Fear does not rule me

I WILL NOT BE AFRAID
Hear it echo through the grave
Through the fire, through the faith
I will not be afraid
I am wrath, I am light
I am the end of the night
Tell the darkness I’m still here
And I will not be afraid

I stand
Unbroken
