Built in the Undertow

Lyrics

[Intro] A spark hits the stone, the mountain answers back Feet planted hard on a broken track No crown, no throne, just a promise in my chest I came this far to face the test [Verse 1] Dust on my hands, red mark on my cheek You call me finished, I call that weak Every fall taught my bones one thing: Stand up straight when the iron rings The old road ends at the canyon wall I hear your roar, but I won't crawl One breath, one step, I narrow the space A storm is waiting behind my face [Pre-Chorus] When the ground starts splitting wide I keep the fire locked inside Count to three, then break the chain Turn the pressure into flame [Chorus] Raise your hands, let the whole sky know I was built in the undertow Through the dust, through the doubt, through the endless night I find one more strike, one more fight No retreat when the final bell rings I will rise with the strength I bring If the mountain stands, I'll climb that stone I don't need a throne to own my soul [Verse 2] You throw a wave like a collapsing sea I cut through the middle and set myself free The clock runs out, but the heart runs hot I give every ounce that the body has got A friend calls out from the far-off ridge I cross the gap, I become the bridge Not for revenge, not for a name I fight so tomorrow can stay the same [Pre-Chorus] When the ground starts splitting wide I keep the fire locked inside Count to three, then break the chain Turn the pressure into flame [Chorus] Raise your hands, let the whole sky know I was built in the undertow Through the dust, through the doubt, through the endless night I find one more strike, one more fight No retreat when the final bell rings I will rise with the strength I bring If the mountain stands, I'll climb that stone I don't need a throne to own my soul [Bridge] Breathe in the thunder Hold to the ground The fear gets smaller When I turn around Face every answer Face every scar The power was never waiting somewhere far [Final Chorus] Raise your hands, let the whole sky know I was built in the undertow Through the dust, through the doubt, through the endless night I find one more strike, one more fight No retreat when the final bell rings I will rise with the strength I bring If the mountain stands, I'll climb that stone I don't need a throne to own my soul [Outro] One breath, one step, the silence is gone I carry the dawn, I carry it on
