[Intro]
Щодня повітря рве місто на клапті; the clock ticks loud, and fear speaks in gasps.
The sky wears smoke like a coat, and I’m counting breaths in a broken beat.
[Verse 1]
I’m standing at the edge, окружений шумом, echoes choke the room,
In Ukrainian breaths I spit out fear, in English I scream for room.
Серце барабанить, doors shout back: stay, or run, or break—
But I keep my mouth open to swallow the truth the missiles make.
[Pre-Chorus]
We hear the sirens, we hear the bark of the night—
Я чую твої слова крізь обстріли, I cling to light.
[Chorus]
Release me from the walls that close like frost,
Розбий ці ланцюги, give me courage, at any cost.
Raise the flag inside my throat and let it fly,
I will endure, I will stand, I won’t deny.
[Verse 2]
Fragments of speech: airstrikes blur the skyline, words scatter/float,
Censorship in the airwaves, we fight to keep our notes.
Я бачу страх в очах, але я не згасну, not today,
In every cracked doorway I find a spark and say: stay.
[Pre-Chorus]
The building trembles, but the voice won't bow,
Мова дрижить, yet I swear I’ll shout it out.
[Chorus]
Release me from the walls that close like frost,
Розбий ці ланцюги, give me courage, at any cost.
Raise the flag inside my throat and let it fly,
I will endure, I will stand, I won’t deny.
[Bridge]
Ти чуєш? The ground hums with our stubborn drums,
We forge ahead where the night becomes the sun.
[Chorus]
Release me from the walls that close like frost,
Розбий ці ланцюги, give me courage, at any cost.
Raise the flag inside my throat and let it fly,
I will endure, I will stand, I won’t deny.
[Outro]
Edge-to-edge, we breathe, we burn, we bloom—we won’t be erased,
Strength in shaky voices, declaración: we’ve kept the faith.
