[Verse 1]
Woke up in a town of ruins
Cracked guild mark on my hand
All the heroes turned to rumors
Posters peeling from the stands
I was just a background extra
Carrying boxes through the flame
Till you crashed down in a whirlwind
Called my quiet heart by name
[Chorus]
We are the broken halo
Burning brighter anyway
Scars on our backs like wings in the making
Falling
But we misbehave
Shouting through the shadows
Laughing at the end of days
If this is how our fairytale is breaking
Then let it break our chains
[Verse 2]
Training in an empty courtyard
Splinters in our bleeding palms
Every failure like an anthem
Echoed in your stubborn calm
You said “pain is just a teacher
Not the ending of the book”
So we carved our vows in concrete
Jumped before we ever looked (woah)
[Chorus]
We are the broken halo
Burning brighter anyway
Scars on our backs like wings in the making
Falling
But we misbehave
Shouting through the shadows
Laughing at the end of days
If this is how our fairytale is breaking
Then let it break our chains
[Bridge]
[Half-time drum groove
Guitars drop to palm-muted chugs]
If the world resets
Will you find me again?
In another arc
With a different name?
I’ll be that kid
With a reckless grin (hey!)
Running at the storm
Just to feel you sing
[Chorus]
We are the broken halo
Burning brighter anyway
Scars on our backs like wings in the making
Falling
But we misbehave
Shouting through the shadows
Laughing at the end of days
If this is how our fairytale is breaking
Then let it break our chains (yeah)
Let it break our chains
