(INTRO-Haunting melody, slow build-up)
Ohhh-ohhh, they whisper in the dark…
But I see every spark…
Try to pull me down, but I was born to rise
You can hear the fire in my battle cries…
(VERSE 1)
I see their shadows creeping, think I don’t know their game
They smile but hold a dagger, they whisper on my name
They say I’m flying too high, but I was made to reign
I taste the blood, I feel the burn, and still I rise again
(PRE-CHORUS)
Sss—listen close, hear the hiss in the air
Sss—watch your step, there’s a trap everywhere
Sss—I don’t bow, I don’t break, I don’t kneel
Come at me wrong and I’ll show you what’s real!
(CHORUS)
Y’all whisper, y’all crawl, but I hear you all
Smile in my face, prayin’ I fall
Fangs in the dark, but I spit back flames
I was built for war, got venom in my veins
(Venom in my veins—) venom in my veins
I was built for war, got venom in my veins!
(VERSE 2)
They tried to chain my spirit, but I was born to fight
Every scar I carry is a star inside my night
They want me caged, they want me weak, they want me tamed and blind
But I was crowned by thunder, made of steel and fire inside
(BRIDGE)
Laugh now, cry later, that’s the fate that you chose
Bit my hand, lost your chance, now you’re stuck behind these doors
I was patient, I was quiet, but the beast is now exposed
Fear the wrath, fear the strike, now you tremble, now you froze
(CHORUS)
Y’all whisper, y’all crawl, but I hear you all
Smile in my face, prayin’ I fall
Fangs in the dark, but I spit back flames
I was built for war, got venom in my veins
(Venom in my veins—) venom in my veins
I was built for war, got venom in my veins!
(OUTRO- Whispered, eerie vocals fading out)
Venom in my veins…
Venom in my veins…
Try to strike me down…
But I still remain…
