To Live Is To Die

Ash on the armor

Blood on the snow

Names carved in granite

Faces I know

I carry the banners

Of brothers that fell

Their stories are thunder

Inside this shell

To live is to die

But we ride the fire

We burn for a moment

We blaze even higher

If fate cuts us down

Let the heavens hear our cry

We were born to stand

To live is to die

Scars on my heartbeat

Rust on my blade

I’ve lost every battle

I never made

But out of the ruins

A wild hope remains

A spark in the blackness

That tears through the chains

To live is to die

But we ride the fire

We burn for a moment

We blaze even higher

If fate cuts us down

Let the heavens hear our cry

We were born to stand

To live is to die

I’ve knelt in the dirt

Begged the sky for a sign (hey!)

Cursed every shadow that swallowed what’s mine

But as long as I’m breathing

I’m drawing this line

Between giving up

And giving my life

To live is to die

But we ride the fire

We burn for a moment

We blaze even higher

If fate cuts us down

Let the heavens hear our cry

We were born to stand

To live is to die

To live is to die

So we sing it louder

From ashes to glory

From weakness to power

When steel turns to dust and the last stars leave the sky

Let the echo say

To live is to die
