[Intro]
Hands up high
See the sparks
All these beating hearts
Won’t burn out tonight (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Lines on my face
Just maps of the miles I’ve walked
Silver in my hair
Just proof that I’m still rock
Every old scar
Another story that refused to stop
I’m still here
I’m still loud at the top
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep rising
Rising
Through the smoke and time
If this is getting older
Then pour it like wine (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Long live this life
We’re not done yet
Every breath a burning sunset
We are the crown of every hard year survived
We were built to last forever
Turn the pain to blazing treasure
Raise your voice
We are the proof
That beauty stays alive
Long live this life
[Verse 2]
Wrinkles like rivers
Running back to every wild night
Laugh lines carved
Where the joy had to fight
Look at us shining
In the floodlights of our own sky
If this is the ending
Why do we feel so high?
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep rising
Rising
Through the smoke and time
If this is getting older
Then pour it like wine
[Chorus]
Long live this life
We’re not done yet
Every breath a burning sunset
We are the crown of every hard year survived
We were built to last forever
Turn the pain to blazing treasure
Raise your voice
We are the proof
That beauty stays alive
Long live this life
[Bridge]
[Music drops to clean guitars
Distant choir]
Softly now
Hear the choir of every day we survived
Every “no” we turned
Into another chance to try (oh)
[Build]
[Drums and distorted guitars swell]
Count the candles
Not the fears
Every glow a gathered year
We’re not fading
We’re igniting
We’re the thunder still arriving
[Guitar Solo]
[Blistering melodic solo
Soaring bends and rapid-fire runs “angels would air guitar”]
[Final Chorus]
Long live this life
We’re not done yet
Every breath a burning sunset
We are the crown of every hard year survived (every hard year)
We were built to last forever
Turn the pain to blazing treasure
Sing it loud
Our shining truth
We’re endlessly alive
Long live this life
(Yeah) long live this life
