Viking in my chest screams, "Not tonight"
You said, "Kneel down," I said, "Watch me rise"
No more silence, no more nice (rrr)
Cold wind, black sky, blood warmed by stride
Held pain behind my teeth, huh
You call that peace, it buried me (ah)
I pray for love, not for fear, aye
It's all calm, I disappear
Every scar got a name
Every oath fed the flame
I stay low, I play kind (ah)
Lost my voice to guard your life
I kept the storm inside my skin
I smiled through fire again and again
Say, "Be quiet one" more time
I am done (whoo!)
I am done (whoo!)
(Yeah, hey, yeah)
I am done (eh)
I am done (whoo!)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I am done being easy
Done looking calm when I'm bleeding
I paid in blood for every smile
I held my hell a little while
Now hear my voice, now feel this shit
I break the lock, I break the script
No more, "Be nice," no more, "Don't cry"
I am the reason I survive
I swallowed thunder just to stay alive
Viking in my chest screams, "Not tonight"
You said, "Kneel down," I said, "Watch me rise"
No more silence, no more nice
Fast breath, war drums
Old rage still comes
I don't pray, I don't wait
I take back my name (ah)
You want it quiet, you want it small
I gave you years, now watch me fall
No, watch me rise
No more silence
No more nice (whoo!)
No more nice (whoo!)
Viking in me (hoo! Hoo!)
Born from ice
I held it in, I paid the price (hoo! Whoo!)
And now I rise
Hm, now I rise
2:55
