[Verse 1]
Boots in the dust
Blood on the wall
Names in the dirt
We carry them all
Orders like thunder
“Advance!” in my head
Fear tastes like copper
But I bite it back instead (yeah)
[Chorus]
Advance
Even if the sky is falling
Advance
Hear the dead and hear them calling
We’re broken
But we still lift our blades
If this is hell
We’re the ones who stayed
Advance
‘til the giants start retreating
Advance
Feel my wounded heart still beating
If I fall
Then carve this on my spine
I lived once
Like a cannon line
[Verse 2]
Mud on my hands
Steel in my throat
Hearts on our sleeves
Stitched into this coat
I see you shaking
I’m shaking too
Heroes are liars
We’re just seeing it through (hey)
[Chorus]
Advance
Even if the sky is falling
Advance
Hear the dead and hear them calling
We’re broken
But we still lift our blades
If this is hell
We’re the ones who stayed
Advance
‘til the giants start retreating
Advance
Feel my wounded heart still beating
If I fall
Then carve this on my spine
I lived once
Like a cannon line
[Bridge]
Teeth on my fear
I tear it out
One more breath
One more shout
You take the lead
I’ll take the blame
If we get crushed
Let it carve our names (woah)
[Chorus]
Advance
Even if the sky is falling
Advance
Hear the dead and hear them calling
We’re broken
But we still lift our blades
If this is hell
We’re the ones who stayed
Advance
‘til the giants start retreating
Advance
Feel my wounded heart still beating
If I fall
Then carve this on my spine
I lived once
Like a cannon line
