[Verse 1] Sun goes down on the iron road I hear my name in the grinding glow One side says kneel, let the pressure win One side says burn from the marrow in My hands shake hard like a loaded chain My chest holds back all the slag and flame I wore my scars like a second skin Now they start to sing from within [Pre-Chorus] And I stand still While the night leans in I taste the steel On my broken grin [Chorus] Battle inside me Battle inside me I break, I rise I don't retreat Battle inside me Battle inside me Ash in my veins But I stay complete [Verse 2] Every old wound has a sharp reply Every white lie wears a hollow face I fed the fear till it knew my house Now I drag it out by the throat at last The dusk turns red on the broken stone I walk through hell like it's my own No saint here, no clean hands Just a hard heart learning to stand [Pre-Chorus] And I stand still While the dark leans in I hear the roar Of the war within [Chorus] Battle inside me Battle inside me I break, I rise I don't retreat Battle inside me Battle inside me Ash in my veins But I stay complete [Bridge] If I fall, let me fall awake If I bleed, let it never fake I won't crown the fear in my chest I will meet the beast and bite its neck [Chorus] Battle inside me Battle inside me I break, I rise I don't retreat Battle inside me Battle inside me Ash in my veins But I stay complete
