[Verse 1]
Boots in the dirt
You can taste the dust
Paint on our faces
Scuffed-up trust
Raider eyes laughing
Over cracked old cups
We bet our future
On a busted rusted truck
[Chorus]
We are the raiders of Speranza
Coming in hot
Hearts full of scars
Riding this ark through the badlands
Praying this wreck still carries us far
Spitting out fear with the hornets
Stung but we still stand up
We are the raiders of Speranza
Dripping in goop and luck
[Verse 2]
Hornets in the rafters
Buzz in my bones
Every small doubt
Turns sharp like stones
Green glow
Thick floor
Slime on my boots
Laugh as we slip
Still we dig for roots
[Chorus]
We are the raiders of Speranza
Coming in hot
Hearts full of scars
Riding this ark through the badlands
Praying this wreck still carries us far
Spitting out fear with the hornets
Stung but we still stand up
We are the raiders of Speranza
Dripping in goop and luck
[Bridge]
Hand on the hull
“Keep breathing
Old friend”
If this ark sinks
We rise again
From mud
From sting
From every burn
Speranza is the place
We always return (hey!)
[Chorus]
We are the raiders of Speranza
Coming in hot
Hearts full of scars
Riding this ark through the badlands
Praying this wreck still carries us far
Spitting out fear with the hornets
Stung but we still stand up
We are the raiders of Speranza
Dripping in goop and luck
