Saints with Scars
Southern Christian Hardcore Rock
[Verse 1]
I’ve walked through fire with a cross on my back
Every prayer felt like a heart attack
Whispers in the dark tried to drown my name
But I carved out hope in the midst of shame
[Pre-Chorus]
This ain’t a sermon—it’s a war cry
Grace found me when I wanted to die
[Chorus]
We are saints with scars—proof we’ve bled
But we rise from the grave where the broken were led
No fear in our fire, no shame in our cries
We carry the cross with flames in our eyes
This is redemption, this is war
We are saints with scars—nothing less, nothing more
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen angels weep in the southern rain
Heaven ain’t quiet when you’re bound in chains
I broke beneath the weight of sin
But mercy kicked the door in the midst of shame
[Pre-Chorus]
This ain’t a sermon—it’s a war cry
Grace found me when I wanted to die
[Chorus]
We are saints with scars—proof we’ve bled
But we rise from the grave where the broken were led
No fear in our fire, no shame in our cries
We carry the cross with flames in our eyes
This is redemption, this is war
We are saints with scars—nothing less, nothing more
[Bridge]
This ain’t a hymn—it’s a battle song
We bleed truth when the nights get long
We are saints with scars, proof we’ve bled
...but we rise from the grave
[Breakdown]
(Insert crushing riff, halftime drums, maybe a spoken word scream: “Scars don’t mean defeat—they mean survival”)
[Final Chorus]
We are saints with scars—proof we’ve bled
But we rise from the grave where the broken were led
No fear in our fire, no shame in our cries
We carry the cross with flames in our eyes
This is redemption, this is war
We are saints with scars—nothing less, nothing more
