[Intro]
Boots on the stone
Cold air, warm breath
Hands up
One voice, one step
(hoo!)
[Verse 1]
Snow on our lashes
Steel in our chests
Laugh through the bruises
We’ve bled every test
Torches like comets
Thrown at the sky
Shadows get nervous
When brothers walk by
[Pre-Chorus]
If you fall back
I turn, I reach
If I lose faith
You drag me to my feet
Every scar
Is a map on our skin
Every crack in the night
Where the dawn breaks in
[Chorus]
We dance through the darkness
Stomp out the fear
Clap like thunder
Till the path comes clear
Side by side
Hear that echo call us
“Brothers, brothers”
Nothing ever falls us
We dance through the darkness
We dance through the darkness
[Verse 2]
Teeth of the mountain
Bite at our heels
Wind tries to drown out
Everything we feel
[Louder] We answer in rhythm
Heel, toe, strike
Your shout, my laughter
Blend like fire and ice
[Pre-Chorus]
If I slip first
You swear you’ll stay
If you see ghosts
I chase them away
Every “can’t”
Gets buried in snow
Every “never”
Is the seed we sow
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[call] Who walks with you?
[response, low crowd] My blood, my own
[call] Who holds the line?
[response] We stand as stone
[call] Who breaks the night?
[response, rising] The ones unbroken
[all, shouted] Names unspoken
Hearts wide open
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Boots in a circle
Hands on hearts
Dark all around us
Light where we start
[soft male choir] Brothers, brothers
[strong lead] Say my name, I’ll answer back
[full choir, claps and stomps] Brothers through the black
