not turning back

Ooooh-oh-oh

Ash falling down

Ooooh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Ash falls thick on a dying street

Sirens howl in a broken beat

Kings draw blood for a throne of sand

While mothers pray with trembling hands

Dark runs wild in the heart of men

Turns brother against brother again

But shoulder to shoulder we hold the line

Your hand in mine

Pre-Chorus

Steel on steel — let it ring

Fear shouts loud — we don’t bend

When the world says “Bow your head”

We rise instead

Through the fire we stand

Unbroken, unafraid

Every scar on our hands

Is the oath that we made

Let the night close in

Let the sky turn black

We are the light in the fire

And we’re not turning back

Oh-oh

We’re not turning back

Verse 2

Chains wrapped tight around this land

Power slipping through bloody hands

The strong gone wrong, the innocent fall

Greed builds walls ten stories tall

But there’s a flame they can’t contain

Born in loss, forged in pain

Not by hate, not by war

But by something more

Pre-Chorus 2

Let the pressure rise like flame

Let them try to speak our shame

If they think that hope is dead

They’ve lost their heads

Through the fire we stand

Unbroken, unafraid

Every scar on our hands

Is the oath that we made

Let the night close in

Let the sky turn black

We are the light in the fire

And we’re not turning back

Oh-oh

We’re not turning back

Let the walls shake down

Let the chains hit ground

Let the silence break

Let the heavens sound

Not by fear

Not by might

We rise up

We ignite

Through the fire we stand

Unbroken, unafraid

Every scar on our hands

Is the oath that we made

Let the night close in

Let the sky turn black

We are the light in the fire

And we’re not turning back

No — we’re not turning back

Outro (Crowd)

Ooooh-oh-oh

We are the light

Ooooh-oh-oh

We rise tonight
