Peace Was Never An Option

[Intro] [Verse 1] In the shadows of the battlefield, where the dust and blood have dried We stand tall, unbroken, with the scars we cannot hide Through the echoes of the past, we hear the cries of lost souls In this world of endless conflict, our destiny unfolds [Pre-Chorus] In the darkness, we find our light In the chaos, we learn to fight [Chorus] Peace was never an option, in this world of pain We rise from the ashes, again and again With hearts full of fire, and eyes set on the prize Peace was never an option, but we refuse to compromise [Verse 2] Every battle leaves its mark, on the hearts of those who stand Fighting for a future, in a fractured, broken land We march on through the fire, with resolve that never wanes For the fallen and the fearless, we break through the chains [Pre-Chorus] In the darkness, we find our light In the chaos, we learn to fight [Chorus] Peace was never an option, in this world of pain We rise from the ashes, again and again With hearts full of fire, and eyes set on the prize Peace was never an option, but we refuse to compromise [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] We stand on the edge, where hope and fear collide With the strength of a thousand, we turn the tide For every dream that's shattered, and every tear that's shed We carry on the fight, for the living and the dead [Verse 3] Through the storms and the trials, we've weathered every storm With the courage of our ancestors, we are forever transformed In the face of adversity, we find our greatest strength Peace was never an option, but we go to any length [Chorus] Peace was never an option, in this world of pain We rise from the ashes, again and again With hearts full of fire, and eyes set on the prize Peace was never an option, but we refuse to compromise [Outro] Peace was never an option, but still we strive For a world worth living, for a chance to survive [End] [End] (A phoenix raising a tattered flag above a war-torn battlefield.)
