[Intro]
Ash on our lips
Names in the dust
You hold my wrists
Say
“fight for us”
[Verse 1]
[Male]
Every law of this land
Wants your hand off mine
Every shadow is sure
It can steal our light
I hear fate like a judge
Reading out the price
But your heartbeat cuts in
Like a sharp reply
[Pre-Chorus]
[Female]
If the sky falls
I’ll wear it like a crown
[Male]
If the ground splits
We’ll dance on the fault line now
[Together]
Let the curse come
We already chose
You and me against the echo
[Chorus]
We’re a holy war in a broken heaven
Two wild hearts that the dark can’t threaten
If the world burns down
We’ll be forever in the ruins
Screaming love like a battle cry
Kiss me once like we never die
If the world burns down
We’ll be forever in the ruins
(Forever in the ruins)
[Verse 2]
[Female]
They drew circles in salt
Said I can’t cross in
Tied my hope to a stone
Threw it in the wind
But your voice found a way
Through the smoke and glass
You said
“meet me at dawn
We outrun our past”
[Pre-Chorus]
[Male]
If they say we
Were written to fall apart
[Female]
I will carve your
Initials in my heart
[Together]
Let the curse speak
We’re louder than that
Every scar is our banner back
[Chorus]
We’re a holy war in a broken heaven
Two wild hearts that the dark can’t threaten
If the world burns down
We’ll be forever in the ruins
Screaming love like a battle cry
Kiss me once like we never die
If the world burns down
We’ll be forever in the ruins
(yeah, forever in the ruins)
[Bridge]
[Violin solo over whispered vocals]
[Female
Soft]
If this is doomed
Then let it bloom
[Male]
If this is wrong
I’ll stay wrong with you
[Together]
Every curse cracks
When we collide
In your arms
The world can’t decide
[Chorus]
We’re a holy war in a broken heaven
Two wild hearts that the dark can’t threaten
If the world burns down
We’ll be forever in the ruins
Screaming love like a battle cry
Kiss me once like we never die
If the world burns down
We’ll be forever in the ruins
(oh, forever)
Forever in the ruins
