Lyrics
[Intro] Ash falls across the iron plain A distant bell divides the rain [Verse 1] You carved my name into the gate Then left me there to learn my fate The winter took the fields we knew But every scar still points to you [Pre-Chorus] Raise the broken standard high Let the sleeping engines cry [Chorus] We are the fire beneath the stone The last bright nerve in a dying throne When every false king loses his crown We will be there when the walls come down [Verse 2] Your towers lean on borrowed years Your saints are fed by borrowed fears I hear the gears beneath the floor Turning the key behind the door [Pre-Chorus] Raise the broken standard high Let the sleeping engines cry [Chorus] We are the fire beneath the stone The last bright nerve in a dying throne When every false king loses his crown We will be there when the walls come down [Bridge] Through blackened fields, through frozen wire We carry breath, we carry fire No hand can close what we became No storm can drown the buried flame [Final chorus] We are the fire beneath the stone The last bright nerve in a dying throne When every false king loses his crown We will be there when the walls come down [Outro] Ash falls, but the heart remains A scarlet pulse beneath the chains
