Lyrics
[Intro — dark pulse, floor toms, sparse metallic echoes]
[Voice 1 — spoken]
Stand up.
[Voice 2 — spoken]
Speak out.
[Voice 3 — spoken]
Do not bow.
[Verse 1 — restrained female mezzo]
There comes a line we will not cross,
A ground we will not yield.
No one gets to name our worth
Or tell us when to kneel.
We stand where voices are denied,
Where choice is stripped away,
We do not speak instead of you,
We make room for what you say.
[Pre-Chorus 1 — building drums]
Some truths were never meant for whispers,
Some wrongs demand a voice,
No one else can claim your answer,
No one else can make your choice.
[Chorus 1 — full cinematic rock lift]
Stand up, when the weight says stay down,
Speak out, let your truth be the sound,
By the promise we keep, to each other we’re bound,
We stand together…
[brief drop — ensemble]
WE DO NOT BOW!
[full band]
No one above us, no one beneath,
Your voice is your own, your truth yours to speak,
We ask for no throne and we offer no crown,
We stand together…
[brief drop — ensemble]
WE DO NOT BOW!
[Verse 2 — driving, assured]
When power feeds upon the quiet,
We will not look away,
We will not call submission peace,
No matter who holds sway.
And if you cannot rise today,
We will not leave your side,
We’ll hold the line until you do,
And face the rising tide.
[Pre-Chorus 2 — backing voices build]
A whisper joined becomes a chorus,
A lone voice gathers more,
We raise our shields for one another,
And hold against the roar.
[Chorus 2 — bigger; full band, layered backing vocals]
Stand up, when the weight says stay down,
Speak out, let your truth be the sound,
By the promise we keep, to each other we’re bound,
We stand together…
[brief drop — ensemble]
WE DO NOT BOW!
[full band]
No one above us, no one beneath,
Your voice is your own, your truth yours to speak,
We ask for no throne and we offer no crown,
We stand together…
[brief drop — ensemble]
WE DO NOT BOW!
[Verse 3 — pull back; steady, resolute]
Conviction isn’t measured
When allies fill the room,
It’s tested when the cost arrives
And consequences loom.
We cannot promise easy roads,
Or that the world will understand,
But each wound that we receive
Reminds us why we stand.
[Bridge — low martial pulse; voices gather]
We seek no power, hold no title,
We blunt the edge of cruel command.
We know the worth of breaking dawn,
And find the strength in our joined hands.
[Final Chorus — full cinematic peak; all voices]
Stand up, when the weight says stay down,
Speak out, let your truth be the sound,
By the promise we keep, to each other we’re bound,
We stand together…
WE DO NOT BOW!
No one above us, no one beneath,
Each voice its own, its claim now complete,
One spark can start a new beginning…
[brief drop]
THE ONYX VANGUARD.
[full ensemble]
WE DO NOT BOW!
[Outro — instruments fall away to the opening pulse; all voices together, calm and unwavering.
Stand up.
Speak out.
Do not bow.
