If they want war

Verse 1

Black clouds gather on the edge of town,

Sirens sing a warning sound.

Shadows crawling through the smoke,

Every promise bends or broke.

Steel hearts beating in the night,

Eyes glowing in the firelight.

We didn’t come to spill no blood,

But we’re standing firm against the flood.

Pre-Chorus

The ground is shaking, hear the roar,

They’re knocking hard upon the door.

Chorus

If they want war, hear the thunder crash,

Lightning strikes and the darkness cracks.

Raise your voice, let the heavens know,

We’re still standing in the fallout glow.

If they want war, let the banners rise,

Like a thousand storms across the sky.

We never asked for what they’re fighting for,

But if they want war… we’ll endure.

Verse 2

Ashes falling like winter rain,

Ghosts of kings and their endless games.

Fear can’t live where courage stands,

Not while fire burns in these hands.

Every scar tells a story true,

Of battles lost and battles through.

The night is long but the dawn will come,

When the final bell has rung.

Bridge

Hear the bells ring out tonight,

Echoes rolling through the sky.

No surrender, no retreat,

Standing tall on shattered streets.

Final Chorus

If they want war, hear the thunder cry,

A million voices unified.

In the shadows, in the flame,

We’ll remember every name.

If they want war, let the whole world know,

We’ll be standing when the cold winds blow.

When the smoke clears from the battlefield floor,

If they want war…

We’ll be standing evermore.
