Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Blood-red dawn on a broken hill Twelve shadows in a circling ring Rust on the steel Prayer on their lips Storm in their lungs as they sing [Verse 2] Names carved deep in cathedral stone Candles drown in the rising smoke Vows like chains on their battered hearts Every whisper a battle oath [Chorus] Twelve disciples Ride the thunder Through the ash and shattered glass Raise the banner over ruin Turn the graveyard into brass Twelve disciples Burning halos Cutting darkness like a blade We were chosen Scarred and faithless But together we don’t fade (oh-oh) [Verse 3] Raven wings on the midnight choir Iron crowns in the freezing rain They drink grief from a silver cup Spit it back out as holy flame [Bridge] Kneel in the ruins Stand in the fire Martyrs and liars All dressed in black Lost in the echoes Lost in the choir But shoulder to shoulder We never look back (hey!) [Chorus] Twelve disciples Ride the thunder Through the ash and shattered glass Raise the banner over ruin Turn the graveyard into brass Twelve disciples Burning halos Cutting darkness like a blade We were chosen Scarred and faithless But together we don’t fade [Chorus] Twelve disciples Ride forever Through the frost and through the flame If the heavens close above us We will carve our own new name Twelve disciples Cursed and shining In the ruins we have made We were broken We were dying Now together we don’t fade (oh-oh)
