[Intro]
Bright souls
Sharp smoke
I was raised in the clash
In the cracked stone
[Verse 1]
All these temples talk in thunder
Brick and bone in the blood-red rain
Every rooftop holds a rumor
Every alley echoing my name
Kick dust off the shrine steps, wild
Got scars from the flagstones, proud
They pray, we swing in the same breath
Turn every vow to a battle sound
[Chorus]
I love the fighting here
Yeah, I love this war-torn sky
Bright souls keep fighting here
We break, then we rise, then we try
Temples are fighting here
Stone saints staring while we ride
I love the fighting here
‘Cause it means this city’s alive (alive)
[Verse 2]
Gold leaf peeling on the gates
Incense mixing with the sweat and fear
Old gods arguing in my chest
“Walk away” – I drag ‘em right back here (c’mon)
See the sparks when the fists talk stories
Every bruise is a map of the block
We don’t run from the rage or the glory
We just tighten up the lace on the socks
[Chorus]
I love the fighting here
Yeah, I love this war-torn sky
Bright souls keep fighting here
We break, then we rise, then we try
Temples are fighting here
Stone saints staring while we ride
I love the fighting here
‘Cause it means this city’s alive (so alive)
