Red sky glow on the edge of town
Dispatch crackled, alarm bells sound
Pulled my boots on, hit the station floor
Another long night knockin’ at the door
Chrome red engine, number nineteen
Shinin’ like a soldier in a gasoline dream
Sirens singin’ through the midnight rain
Brothers ridin’ straight into the flames
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah we don’t run away
When the whole world’s burnin’ down
(Chorus)
We’re fire fighters, hearts of gold
Holdin’ that line through the smoke and cold
With a hose in our hands and faith in our souls
Answerin’ 911 wherever we go
Red lights flashin’ like the Fourth of July
Sirens howlin’ at the dark midnight
Brothers forever till the day we’re gone
Always ready, always strong
(Verse 2)
Little kid waved from the roadside lane
Saw our truck roll by through the pourin’ rain
Said “Mama, look, there goes the brave”
That’s enough to make a tired man stay
Heat so hot that the walls cave in
Still we charge where the fear begins
One man falls, ten hands reach down
That’s what brotherhood’s about in this town
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah we wear these scars
Like a flag upon our chest
(Chorus)
We’re fire fighters, hearts of gold
Holdin’ that line through the smoke and cold
With a hose in our hands and faith in our souls
Answerin’ 911 wherever we go
Red lights flashin’ like the Fourth of July
Sirens howlin’ at the dark midnight
Brothers forever till the day we’re gone
Always ready, always strong
(Bridge)
From the first alarm to the break of dawn
We keep pushin’ on and on
Through the ashes, through the pain
We save what we can from the flame
(Final Chorus)
Yeah we’re fire fighters, born to stand
Face to face with the devil’s hand
Brandweer hearts in an American song
Keeping hope alive when the night feels wrong
Sirens cry and the blue lights spin
Another call and we roll again
Brothers forever till the day we’re gone
Always ready… always strong
(Outro)
Always ready
Yeah, always strong
