Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ash settles thick on the old stone gate You raise your eyes though the hour grows late Iron in your hands, dust on your tongue You carry the weight of what must be done [Pre-Chorus] No bell will call us home No mercy waits below [Chorus] Stand where the black earth breaks Hold fast through the pressure and flame When every false crown shakes You will not surrender your name Rise from the ruin you know Let the buried thunder awake Stand where the black earth breaks Stand for the choice you make [Verse 2] The quarry remembers each hammer blow A scar in the mountain, a debt we owe You hear through the walls what the deep ones say But you turn from the dark and you walk your way [Pre-Chorus] No chain can claim your soul No grave can take control [Chorus] Stand where the black earth breaks Hold fast through the pressure and flame When every false crown shakes You will not surrender your name Rise from the ruin you know Let the buried thunder awake Stand where the black earth breaks Stand for the choice you make [Bridge] Let the towers lean Let the old road close You are more than the wound You are more than the stone [Final chorus] Stand where the black earth breaks Hold fast through the pressure and flame When every false crown shakes You will not surrender your name Rise from the ruin you know Let the buried thunder awake Stand where the black earth breaks Stand for the choice you make [Outro] The mountain remembers The mountain remains You walk from the ashes With fire in your veins
