We Were Not Meant to Survive

There was fire in the sky that night

No one thought we’d see the dawn

A broken ship, a reckless fight

Against a beast too long gone wrong

They said no man could take that flame

No wings could fall from mortal hands

But Strongcastle never played the same

He rose when no one else could stand

He should’ve died in that burning air…

But fate don’t bend to fear

We were not meant to survive

But we stood and we fought and we rose up alive

From the ashes of chains and the end of our days

We found something stronger inside

We are fire, we are steel, we are more than they knew

Six have fallen and we’re not through

We were not meant to survive…

But we did

His children carried what he began

Through smoke and blood and shattered ground

They broke the brood, they freed the land

Turned whispers into battle sound

Twosun burned but did not break

Every loss just forged us hard

For every life the dragons take

We answer back, we raise the scar

We learned to fight in the shadow of fear…

Now the monsters hear

We were not meant to survive

But we stood and we fought and we rose up alive

From the ashes of chains and the end of our days

We found something stronger inside

We are fire, we are steel, we are more than they knew

Six have fallen and we’re not through

We were not meant to survive…

But we did

They came from across the sea

Redcoats marching into flame

Bled beside us, set us free

Now the war has changed its name

Now the dragons strike their shores

Now they know what we became

And Isolde still calls for war…

But we will not wear her chains

We are small…

But not alone…

We were not meant to survive

But we stood and we fought and we rose up alive

Through the thunder, through terror, through all we became

We will never be slaves again

Let them tremble, let them run, let them finally see

What it costs when you come for the free

We were not meant to survive…

…But we’re the last thing they’ll see
