Lyrics
[Intro]
The door is shaking on its rusted frame
Your hand is bleeding where you write my name
[Verse 1]
We drew a line across the kitchen floor
One side for living, one side for war
My brother held the keys beneath his coat
My oldest friend could barely stay afloat
The sirens climbed the hillside, red and near
My mother said, “Don’t let them take your fear”
I saw the choice they placed into my hands
A life to save, a life the fire demands
[Pre-Chorus]
If I pull you from the wreckage
Who will carry them away?
If I close the final doorway
Will you curse me when you wake?
[Chorus]
I will break before I bend
I will lose before I send
One more soul into the flame
One more face without a name
If the cost is all I am
Take my blood, but spare my friends
Let me stand beneath the blade
For the family I have made
[Verse 2]
My sister tied a bandage round my wrist
She knew the ones we couldn’t risk to miss
My father’s photograph was in her palm
A little house, a field, a borrowed calm
We passed the last of water down the row
No one asked which one of us should go
Then you stepped forward, quiet as the snow
And said, “There’s still a road you need to know”
[Pre-Chorus]
If I pull you from the wreckage
Who will carry them away?
If I close the final doorway
Will you curse me when you wake?
[Chorus]
I will break before I bend
I will lose before I send
One more soul into the flame
One more face without a name
If the cost is all I am
Take my blood, but spare my friends
Let me stand beneath the blade
For the family I have made
[Breakdown]
No crown
No glory
No clean hands
No victory
Name the dead
Hold the living
Make the choice
Keep forgiving
[Bridge]
When the ceiling falls, I’ll hold it
When the last light leaves, I’ll know it
Every scar becomes a promise
Every grave still speaks among us
You are not a number carved in stone
You are not a burden left alone
If I have to walk into the dark
I’ll carry every beating heart
[Final Chorus]
I will break before I bend
I will lose before I send
One more soul into the flame
One more face without a name
If the cost is all I am
Take my blood, but spare my friends
Let me stand beneath the blade
For the family I have made
[Outro]
The door is open, though the house is gone
We carry who we were and stagger on
No one is saved without somebody dying
No one is lost while someone keeps trying

Style
Modern cinematic metal with crushing down-tuned guitars, double-kick drums, tense minor-key verses, a huge melodic chorus, harsh screamed verses contrasted with desperate clean male vocals, dramatic half-time breakdown, orchestral low strings beneath the final section, tight punchy mix, and a decisive emotional ending.
