[Verse 1]
Boots in the ashes
Blood in the sand
Names on our helmets
Fade from my hands
Smoke on the horizon
Scars on my sleeve
Every breath I’m stealing
I refuse to leave
[Chorus]
We fight till the last stand
Till the ground gives way beneath our feet
If I fall, you run on
Carry every broken piece of me
If the sky burns black tonight
Let my fire be your guiding light
I’m the one who won’t survive
So you can rise
[Verse 2]
Teeth full of copper
Eyes full of flame
Every wound that finds me
Remembers your name
I see you in flashes
Laughing in rain
I trade my tomorrows
To unchain your chains
[Chorus]
We fight till the last stand
Till the ground gives way beneath our feet
If I fall, you run on
Carry every broken piece of me
If the sky burns black tonight
Let my fire be your guiding light
I’m the one who won’t survive
So you can rise
[Bridge]
If there’s nothing left of me
Let there be a road for you
Cut it through the dark with my last cry
If the word “forever” breaks
Let my echo still ring true
I was here so you could stay alive
[Chorus]
We fight till the last stand
Till your children never taste this fear
If I burn, you burn bright
Turning all my pain to something clear
If the sky goes quiet now
Hear my name in every battle cry
I’m the one who won’t survive
So you
Can rise
