Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots cut the dawn in two
Fields drink the iron rain
Flags bend like broken vows
And the sun turns pale with shame
We came in a burning line
You came like a closing net
Steel met steel in the dust
And the ground still won’t forget
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that old oath rise
From the marrow of the crowd
Every name becomes a blade
Every fear gets bowed
[Chorus]
Cannae, Cannae
Ring the ground with fire
Cannae, Cannae
Feed the march and choir
Cannae, Cannae
No one leaves this ring
Cannae, Cannae
Make the broken sing (sing)
[Verse 2]
Sun on shields, then none
Smoke in the torn-up air
Wheels of death close tight
Till the horizon disappears
Trapped in a tightening song
No door in the roaring wall
Mothers’ prayers in the mud
And the tall ones start to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that old oath rise
From the marrow of the crowd
Every name becomes a blade
Every fear gets bowed
[Chorus]
Cannae, Cannae
Ring the ground with fire
Cannae, Cannae
Feed the march and choir
Cannae, Cannae
No one leaves this ring
Cannae, Cannae
Make the broken sing (sing)
[Bridge]
Now the dust keeps score
And the crows still know the tune
Time can’t wash that field
It still burns beneath the moon
Stand, though the world has snapped
Stand where the brave were cast
When the throat of fate closed shut
Only memory held fast
[Final Chorus]
Cannae, Cannae
Ring the ground with fire
Cannae, Cannae
Feed the march and choir
Cannae, Cannae
No one leaves this ring
Cannae, Cannae
Make the broken sing (sing)
