Echoes of Betrayal - Defiance Lyrics

Scraped knees, bloody knuckles, scars etched on my soul
Another dead end, another story left untold
World throws punches, life's a battlefield I roam
But deep inside a flicker, a fire calls me home

Hope, a ember in the ashes, a defiant spark
Perseverance, the hammer that breaks through the dark
We fight, we fall, we rise again, defiance in our eyes
This ain't over, not by a long shot, the fire never dies

Doubt whispers in the shadows, a chilling, hollow sound
The weight of failure crushing, dragging me to the ground
But I won't be a prisoner, I won't let it take hold
There's a warrior in my spirit, a story yet untold

Hope, a ember in the ashes, a defiant spark
Perseverance, the hammer that breaks through the dark
We fight, we fall, we rise again, defiance in our eyes
This ain't over, not by a long shot, the fire never dies

Scars are maps, a testament to battles fought and won
Each stumble a lesson, a step towards the rising sun
We'll wear the bruises proudly, a badge of honor earned
The scars may fade, but the strength we'll never spurn

Hope, a ember in the ashes, a defiant spark
Perseverance, the hammer that breaks through the dark
We fight, we fall, we rise again, defiance in our eyes
This ain't over, not by a long shot, the fire never dies

Hope, a ember in the ashes, a defiant spark
Perseverance, the hammer that breaks through the dark
We fight, we fall, we rise again, defiance in our eyes
This ain't over, not by a long shot, the fire never dies

The fire never dies, the fire never dies
