lyrics
[Intro – slow, dark]
Yeah…
Feels like everything’s breaking…
Clock ticking… no escaping…
It’s… time for war.
[Chorus – female vocal, emotional]
It’s time for war, I can’t run anymore
Tears hit the floor, but my heart still sore
Every scar I wore, yeah I earned it before
Now I’m rising up… it’s time for war
Time for war… no fear, no chains
Through the fire, through the pain
If I fall, I’ll fight again
’Cause I’m done with the games
[Verse 1 – fast, aggressive]
Look—
I’ve been bottled up rage with a pen in a cage
Tryna write my way out but I’m stuck in a maze
Every page got blood, every line got pain
Every time I stand up, get cut again
Man, fuck all the doubts and the voices inside
They be telling me I’m never enough when I try
But I’m ready to snap, yeah I’m done being nice
Put my soul on the track, let it burn, let it rise
I was broken, choking on a past I can’t erase
Demons in my head screaming right into my face
Every step I take feel like walking through a grave
But I’m digging my way out, I ain’t dying in this place
Yeah, I carried that weight like a cross on my back
Every friend turned ghost, every trust turned black
Now I’m aiming at the pain, never looking back
If the world wanna war, I’m attacking back
[Pre-Chorus – female vocal, soft build]
I was lost in the dark… couldn’t see the light
Now I’m ready to fight… ready to fight…
[Chorus – female vocal]
It’s time for war, I can’t run anymore
Tears hit the floor, but my heart still sore
Every scar I wore, yeah I earned it before
Now I’m rising up… it’s time for war
Time for war… no fear, no chains
Through the fire, through the pain
If I fall, I’ll fight again
’Cause I’m done with the games
[Verse 2 – faster, more intense]
Yeah—
Now I’m back with a vengeance, a crack in the tension
Every track like a weapon, attack with aggression
I ain’t asking for blessings, I’m grabbing my destiny
If they stand in my way, then they stepping to death with me
I was down in the dirt, yeah, buried alive
Now I’m clawing my way just to barely survive
But the fire inside got me ready to ride
If it’s kill or be killed, then I’m ready to die
Fuck fear, I don’t feel it no more
Every tear turned a reason to settle the score
Every scar turned a map, now I know what it’s for
It was training my soul for this time for war
See, I came from the silence, the pain, the neglect
Where the love was a myth and the hate was a check
Now I’m cashing it in with the blood and the sweat
If you doubted me once, don’t you ever forget
I’m a storm, I’m a threat, I’m the voice in your head
I’m the words you regret, I’m the tears that you bled
I’m the fight you avoid, I’m the line that you dread
And I’m done being broken—I'd rather be dead
[Bridge – female vocal, haunting]
Can you hear me now… through the flames?
I’m not the same… I won’t break…
[Final Chorus – powerful]
It’s time for war, I can’t run anymore
Tears hit the floor, but my heart still sore
Every scar I wore, yeah I earned it before
Now I’m rising up… it’s time for war
Time for war… no fear, no chains
Through the fire, through the pain
If I fall, I’ll fight again
’Cause I’m done with the games
[Outro – spoken, fading]
Yeah…
You pushed me to this…
Now you gotta face it…
It’s time for war.
