The Stone Still Stands

Verse 1

We raised our walls beneath a crimson sky,

stone against thunder, too proud to die.

We watched the black tide cover the land,

but fire met fire when we made our stand.

We heard the war drums crossing the plain,

iron and thunder, smoke and rain.

Kingdoms came like waves to the sand,

but wave after wave, we still would stand.

Pre-Chorus

Every scar became a flame,

every grave still speaks our name.

Through every age, from hand to hand,

we kept the fire within this land.

Chorus

WE ARE THE STONE THAT THE STORM COULD NOT BREAK,

WE ARE THE FIRE THAT THE NIGHT COULD NOT TAKE.

WHEN THE SKY TURNED BLACK AND THE BELLS ALL RANG,

WE STOOD LIKE IRON WHILE THE WAR DRUMS SANG.

LET THE THUNDER ROLL, LET THE HEAVENS CRACK,

WE CARRY THE ONES WHO NEVER CAME BACK.

THEIR BLOOD IS MEMORY, THEIR VOICE COMMANDS:

WE ARE STILL HERE.

THE STONE STILL STANDS.

Verse 2

Then came another wounded dawn,

sirens cried and peace was gone.

We saw our houses swallowed by flame,

but smoke could never erase our name.

Our mothers waited beside the door,

praying to hear our steps once more.

No crown, no glory, no golden throne,

we gave one promise:

"We defend our home."

Pre-Chorus

Different centuries, different guns,

same old fathers, same brave sons.

Whenever darkness crossed the land,

we rose together, hand in hand.

Chorus

WE ARE THE STONE THAT THE STORM COULD NOT BREAK,

WE ARE THE FIRE THAT THE NIGHT COULD NOT TAKE.

WHEN THE SKY TURNED BLACK AND THE BELLS ALL RANG,

WE STOOD LIKE IRON WHILE THE WAR DRUMS SANG.

LET THE THUNDER ROLL, LET THE HEAVENS CRACK,

WE CARRY THE ONES WHO NEVER CAME BACK.

THEIR BLOOD IS MEMORY, THEIR VOICE COMMANDS:

WE ARE STILL HERE.

THE STONE STILL STANDS.

Bridge

We are the roots beneath the ground.

Cut us down, we rise around.

Burn the field.

Break the wall.

We remember.

We rebuild all.

No empire owns the blood we gave.

No fear can rule beyond the grave.

We were the shield.

We are the flame.

Years may pass.

We remain.

Final Chorus

WE ARE THE STONE THAT THE STORM COULD NOT BREAK,

WE ARE THE FIRE THAT THE NIGHT COULD NOT TAKE.

THROUGH ASH AND IRON, THROUGH BLOOD AND SAND,

WE LOST SO MUCH, BUT WE NEVER LOST THE LAND.

FOR EVERY MOTHER, FOR EVERY SON,

FOR EVERY BATTLE THAT HAD TO BE WON.

NOT FOR A CROWN.

NOT FOR COMMAND.

WE STOOD FOR OUR HOME.

AND WE STILL STAND.
