[Verse 1]
Stone steps under our feet
Hands raised to the wind
The banners lean and shiver
As the dawn comes in
We came with empty pockets
Now the tables turn
One name in the great hall
One fire left to earn
[Pre-Chorus]
Lift it higher
Higher than the crown
Hear the old brass wake
Hear the whole room drown
[Chorus]
Cup high, cup high
We hold it up tonight
Cup high, cup high
Gold in the torchlight
Cup high, cup high
The whole sky takes our side
Cup high, cup high
Victory is alive
[Verse 2]
Mud on the boots, still marching
Dust on every sleeve
Faces cut from hard years
Still they dare believe
The laurel and the thunder
The echo and the vow
Every scar says rise now
Every voice says now
[Pre-Chorus]
Lift it higher
Higher than the crown
Hear the old brass wake
Hear the whole room drown
[Chorus]
Cup high, cup high
We hold it up tonight
Cup high, cup high
Gold in the torchlight
Cup high, cup high
The whole sky takes our side
Cup high, cup high
Victory is alive
[Bridge]
From the long road
From the fire
From the ruin
We climbed
One breath
One cheer
One shining line
[Final Chorus]
Cup high, cup high
We hold it up tonight
Cup high, cup high
Gold in the torchlight
Cup high, cup high
The whole sky takes our side
Cup high, cup high
Victory is alive
