The Verdict

Lyrics

[Intro] Violin first in the dark Then the piano answers A room holding its breath Before the first word lands [Verse 1] You came in quiet Like a blade in silk I heard the hinge turn I felt the stillness break Your eyes said enough No need to explain The air went heavy Then it split in two [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know What this is now Not a question Not a maybe The ground goes still When you stand your ground This is not a test This is the moment [Chorus] This is the verdict (Oh, this is the verdict) Say it out loud now (Say it out loud now) We did not bend here (We did not bend here) We rose through the fire (We rose through the fire) This is the verdict (Oh, this is the verdict) And we are still here (And we are still here) [Verse 2] I wore the doubt like A coat of smoke You wore the truth like A line of gold Every small wound Every broken vow Found its name here And lost its power now [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know What this is now Not a question Not a maybe The ground goes still When you stand your ground This is not a test This is the moment [Chorus] This is the verdict (Oh, this is the verdict) Say it out loud now (Say it out loud now) We did not bend here (We did not bend here) We rose through the fire (We rose through the fire) This is the verdict (Oh, this is the verdict) And we are still here (And we are still here) [Bridge] Let the whole room hear it Let the ceiling shake Let the old names fall away Like dust from a frame We were built for this weight Built for this flame And when the silence opens We step into our name [Final Chorus] This is the verdict (Oh, this is the verdict) Say it out loud now (Say it out loud now) We did not bend here (We did not bend here) We rose through the fire (We rose through the fire) This is the verdict (Oh, this is the verdict) No turning back now (No turning back now) This is the verdict (Oh, this is the verdict) And we are still here (And we are still here)
