Unchain the Sky

Iron in my teeth

Ash on my tongue

Blood-red morning

Breath held

Lungs burn

Boots beat patterns

Same stone path

Again

Again

Grey flags hanging

Like a hand around my neck

Names scratched silent

On the wall they paint as law

I taste rust

Every time I dare to talk

Unchain the sky

Let the thunder answer

Tear down the walls they built in our minds

Raise up your voice

Every crack

Every fracture

From the ground

From the dark

We rise

Unchain the sky

Eyes meet

Flicker

Hidden fire behind the fear

Code word

"midnight"

Passed like sparks from ear to ear

Keys made

Quiet

Out of scrap and memory

One last heartbeat

Then we break the century

[low vocal register] They wrote our story in cement

Carved their symbols in our skin

But stone remembers every fault line

Every fault line sings [crescendo]

We are the pressure in the deep

We are the hammer in the seam

When all their idols start to crumble

We step through the breach
