Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Born of bone and battle cry
A voice that breaks, a will that’s dry
He walks the edge, he bears the weight
He doesn’t ask, he doesn’t wait

____

[Verse 2]
XY carved in ancient code
A path of stone, a heavy load
He builds, he breaks, he stands alone
His silence louder than a throne

____

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t fucking dress it up, don’t paint it soft
He is the cliff, the flame, the loft
Not fluid, not pretend, not play
He is the night that holds the day

[Chorus / Hook]
Male is blood, male is bone
Male is carved in the fucking chromosome
Not a costume, not a claim
Male is truth, not just a name

[SOLO]

[Verse 3]
He’s not a mask, he’s not a trend
He doesn’t bend, he doesn’t blend
He bleeds in work, he breathes in war
He is the lock, he is the door

[Verse 4]
They call him harsh, they call him cold
But he’s the fire that forged the old
He’s not a choice, he’s not a game
He is the shape that earned his name

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t fucking dress it up, don’t paint it soft
He is the cliff, the flame, the loft
Not fluid, not pretend, not play
He is the night that holds the day

[Chorus / Hook]
Male is blood, male is bone
Male is carved in the fucking chromosome
Not a costume, not a claim
Male is truth, not just a name


[Bridge – Drop Lead-In]
He doesn’t shift, he doesn’t sway
He doesn’t vanish when you pray
He is the root beneath the tree
He is the shape you’ll always be

[Final Hook – Full Ensemble]
Male is fire, male is steel
Male is what you cannot feel
Male is not a passing phase
He is the code that never fades
