WALKING THROUGH THE FIRE

[Intro – Heavy Guitar Riff, Hammond Organ]

[Verse 1]
Today I lost my mind again
Been walking on a broken line
A painter with no colors left
A poet running out of time
I stared across an empty table
Watched the world begin to sway
Was I flying, was I falling?
Did I leave or did I stay?

[Pre-Chorus – Rising Hammond]
My eyes were closing slowly
But my mind refused to sleep
Was I dreaming of tomorrow
Or drowning in the deep?

[Chorus – Explosive Full Band]
I'm walking through the fire!
I'm standing in the rain!
Carrying the weight of love
And dancing with the pain!
No crown upon my head!
No glory carved in stone!
I give my heart to everyone
And walk this road alone!

[Verse 2]
They call me just another burden
Another price they have to pay
But I'm the one who keeps it turning
While they take the praise away
They light a candle to the heavens
And say the darkness disappeared
But I was burning in the shadows
Holding back a thousand fears

[Pre-Chorus – Heavy Guitar]
Am I just a fading memory?
Or the truth they cannot see?
A voice beneath the thunder
Screaming, let me be!

[Chorus – Full Power]
I'm walking through the fire!
I'm standing in the rain!
Carrying the weight of love
And dancing with the pain!
No crown upon my head!
No glory carved in stone!
I give my heart to everyone
And walk this road alone!

[Instrumental – Extended Guitar and Hammond Duel]

[Bridge – Slow Blues Breakdown]
I inherited the sorrow
And the debts I never made
All the promises of yesterday
And the dreams that slowly fade

I could fall down on my knees
I could turn and walk away
But love is not a bargain
And my heart was never for sale!

[Build – Drums Rising, Guitar Feedback]
No!
I won't surrender!
No!
I won't turn away!
You can take the recognition
But you can't take love away!

[Final Chorus – Explosive, High Vocals]
I'll keep walking through the fire!
Through the thunder and the rain!
Though my soul is growing tired
I'll rise and fight again!
No monuments or glory!
No kingdom of my own!
Just the love I keep on giving
Long after I am gone!

[Outro – Slow Acoustic Guitar, Hammond]
Today I lost my mind again
Or maybe found my way
I'll rest here for a moment
Then rise another day

[Whispered]
Just a moment...
Let me stay...
Then I'll carry on my way...

[End – Final Heavy Guitar Chord]
