Unbreakable Oath

[Intro – feedback-drenched guitar, slow building drum roll] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – chugging rhythm guitar, driving snare] Scars map the path I walk every day A promise I made to chase the dark away I carry the weight of every voice that cries No matter the cost, I’ll stand and fight [Pre-Chorus – rising guitar melody, intensifying drums] My hands shake but my heart won’t bend I’ll light the way till the bitter end [Chorus 1 – full band blast, screamed and sung vocals layered] I’m the shield when the walls start to fall I’m the call when you can’t find your way at all I’ll burn bright till my last breath fades This is my oath, I won’t let you break [Interlude – melodic guitar arpeggio, quiet drum taps] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – faster guitar chugs, double bass drums] I’ve seen the world split at the seams I’ve felt the cold of broken dreams But every time I think I can’t go on I hear your voice and I’m strong [Pre-Chorus 2 – higher guitar pitch, more aggressive drums] My bones ache but my resolve won’t crack I’ll push through the pain to bring you back [Chorus 2 – heavier distortion, gang vocal harmonies] I’m the shield when the sky starts to crumble I’m the hope when your courage starts to tumble I’ll stand tall till my legs give out This is my vow, there’s no room for doubt [Bridge – stripped back clean guitar, soft vocal delivery building intensity] I’m not perfect, I bleed just like you But I’ll keep fighting, what else can I do? The world needs someone to stand in the fray So I’ll raise my fist and face the day [Solo – chaotic guitar shred, pounding drum fills] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full band breakdown, screamed vocals, wall of sound] I’m the shield when the world falls apart I’m the spark when your light fades in the dark I’ll burn out before I let you drown This is my oath, I won’t back down [Outro – fading guitar feedback, final drum crash] My flame won’t die, not today I’ll keep fighting, come what may
