[Verse 1]
High above the storm and sea,
The island hums below.
Stone and silence call to me,
That’s all I’ve ever known.
I’ve seen deception wear a smile,
Watched trust dissolve in flame.
Now the duty’s carved in earth,
And nothing feels the same.

[Pre-Chorus]
No warning signs, no easy road,
The vow is mine alone.
I face the wind, I face the dark,
To guard what can’t be owned.

[Chorus]
Push through every shifting tide,
Keep the balance, never fall.
Heart of granite, hands of grit,
Answer to the mountain’s call.
Feel the tremor start to climb,
When the pressure starts to bite—
Born to hold the edge in line,
I’m ready for the fight.

[Verse 2]
Echoes through the broken shrine,
The past won’t let me sleep.
Every scar reminds me why
The promise runs so deep.
The weight I carry isn’t pain,
It’s proof of what remains.
Let the storm tear through my path,
The core inside still reigns.

[Pre-Chorus]
No second guess, no backing down,
The fire stays in place.
I’ll meet the dawn with steady eyes,
And never turn away.

[Chorus]
Push through every shifting tide,
Keep the balance, never fall.
Heart of granite, hands of grit,
Answer to the mountain’s call.
Feel the tremor start to climb,
When the pressure starts to bite—
Born to hold the edge in line,
I’m ready for the fight.

[Bridge / Solo]
No glory. No crown.
Just the vow and the ground.
That’s enough.

[Final Chorus]
Push through every shifting tide,
Keep the balance, never fall.
Heart of granite, hands of grit,
Answer to the mountain’s call.
Feel the tremor start to climb,
When the pressure starts to bite—
Born to hold the edge in line,
I’m ready for the fight.

[Outro]
Ready for the fight.
Ready for the fight.
Ready—
For the fight.
