lyrics

Chorus

I'll fall, I'll die

No grace in fear, no sacred vow

Death walks through us

But I will rise through all this pain

Verse 1

I woke up from far off. Something howled loud

A new body slumped near the abattoir

A face revealed what words could never describe

A group whispered of a valley, grass bright as prayer

I stepped closer; they mocked the sheaps that never try

Verse 2

Others warned, "Turn away

You'll starve alone

You'll face fangs. You'll taste what's worse than a knife."

I said, “If the knife comes, I'd rather taste that path.”

I stepped forward, faith a thread around my ribs

Chorus

I'll fall, I'll die

No grace in fear, no sacred vow

Death walks through us

But I will rise through all this pain

Verse 3

I found a band and swore to break the chain at dawn

The world ran wild and thin

Four young souls gambled their lives; the owner's hounds were on our heels

One was taken, one was cast down

I don't know if it cost more than pride

But we faltered as we started, then hid where branches breathe

A stranger at my side,two hearts stitched with fear

We counted the cost and counted the loss, then laughed. We tasted our lives

Verse 4

Night hummed like a blade

Every step a gamble, every silence carried weight

We hold the names of those taken, their voices in our heads, and swear we won't forget the fallen. In memory, they'll rest

Bridge

Dawn found me in a valley of hard light

One friend was gone — taken by a wolf before the sun

Felt the hollow where he should be

Then I rose, because remembering him means moving on

Meaning

Knife is a song about choosing to move forward even when the path ahead is dangerous, painful, and uncertain.

The story follows someone who sees the reality of the world around him and refuses to live like the sheep that simply accept their fate. He knows that freedom comes with a price, and that stepping outside the safe path means facing fear, hunger, loss, and consequences.

Along the way, he finds others willing to take the same risk. They run together, fight to break free, lose people they care about, and discover that survival isn't always about winning—it’s about continuing after everything you've lost.

The knife becomes a symbol of the choice itself: pain is guaranteed, but surrender isn't the only option.

“Knife” is about courage without pretending fear doesn't exist. It's about friendship, sacrifice, loss, memory, and the decision to keep walking even when someone you loved didn't make it with you.

You can fall. You can bleed. You can lose people. But as long as you rise, the story isn't over.
