Kenshi - We are the Flame

#kenshi

Lyrics:
[Intro – Drums pounding, distorted guitar riff surging]

WHOSE BLOOD FORGED THIS IRON LAND?!

Okran’s Fist! BY FLAME! BY HEART! BY HAND!

WHOSE WALLS WON’T FALL TO ANY FEAST?!

Okran's Shield! TILL EVERY LUNG HAS CEASED!

[Instrumental – heavy rhythm guitars under marching cadence]

THEY SWARM IN HORNS AND HUDDLED HIVES!

LET ‘EM COME! NONE LEAVE ALIVE!

[Alternating chants – syncopated rhythm with kick drum]
FIST! — BREAK THE FRONT!
SHIELD! — HOLD THE LINE!
FIST! — STRIKE THE CORE!
SHIELD! — GUARD WHAT’S MINE!

[Unified chant – shouted full force by both sides]
WE ARE THE FLAME!
WE DO NOT BREAK!
NO SHEK, NO SWARM, NO RUSTED FAKE!
OKRAN’S ARMS, CLENCHED AND SWORN—
WE BURN. WE FIGHT. WE ARE REBORN!

[Bridge – Stomp-clap rhythm, tempo locked in]
FROM MOUNTAIN VEINS TO VALLEY THROAT—
WE CARRY FLAME! WE BEAR THE OATH!
FROM ANCIENT RUIN TO CRIMSON SKY—
WE DIE TO RISE.
WE BURN TO FLY.

[Final chorus enters – full band, harmonized power vocals over rhythmic chant]

[All voices – triumphant]
WE ARE THE FLAME!
THE VOICE! THE STEEL!
THE STONE THAT STANDS! THE SCAR THAT HEALS!
OKRAN’S FIST, OUR IRON VOW—
OKRAN’S SHIELD, WE HOLD IT NOW!

LET SHEK AND HIVE AND TYRANTS CLAIM—
THEY’LL BREAK LIKE WAVES ON WALLS OF FLAME!
FOR EVERY SOUL, FOR EVERY NAME—
WE DO NOT FALL.
WE ARE THE FLAME!

[Outro – guitars sustain into fading war drums]
