[Call]
Wind in the wires—fire in the air!
[Response]
Hold the sky—don’t you dare!
[Call]
They come from the sun, they come from below!
[Response]
Hold the sky—steady and slow!
[Verse 1 (Lead)]
We climb through smoke where the ash winds burn,
Hold the sky—don’t you turn!
Rifles rattle, the cannons speak,
Hold the sky—don’t be weak!
Wings in flame and the sky gone red,
We fire on high where the angels bled,
They fall like sparks in the storm we led,
Hold the sky—hold the sky!
[Chorus (All)]
Hold the sky! Hold the line!
Twosun steel and British spine!
Hold the sky! Hold the line!
We don’t break—we don’t resign!
[Verse 2 (Lead)]
But look below where the cities lie,
Hold the sky—keep your eye!
The ground just split and the stone gave way,
Hold the sky—don’t you stray!
From hollow earth came the worm and the blade,
Legion ranks in the blood they made,
And drakes in iron with no fear stayed,
Hold the sky—hold the sky!
[Call]
Can we drop?
[Response]
No! Hold the sky!
[Call]
Can we save them?
[Response]
Still—we try!
[Call]
Who holds the line?
[Response]
We hold the line!
[Call]
Who stands today?
[Response]
We stand today!
[Verse 3 (Lead)]
Down in the smoke—what do we see?
Hold the sky—steady and free!
A lone red coat—no line, no stand,
Hold the sky—watch the land!
She stood alone where the smoke rolled low,
Pistol raised in the fire’s glow,
Legion pressed in a choking ring—
And she didn’t bend, she didn’t swing—
Smoke curled thick and the world went blind,
Hold the sky—don’t lose your mind!
Then it thinned—and what did we find—
Hold the sky—don’t lose your mind—
Redcoats gathered, rank on rank,
Hold the sky—don’t let them break!
Steel to her side where the smoke had stood,
Hold the sky—fight as you should!
[Chorus (All, louder)]
Hold the sky! Hold the line!
Steel to sky and flame entwined!
Hold the sky! Hold the line!
They break the world—we hold the line!
[Verse 4 (Lead)]
Every shot counts, every breath is paid,
Hold the sky—don’t be afraid!
We bleed for the air and we burn for the fight,
Hold the sky—hold it tight!
Below us screams and the streets collapse,
Hold the sky—no looking back!
But if we fall, then the world goes black,
Hold the sky—hold the sky!
[Final Chorus (All, highest energy)]
Hold the sky! Hold the line!
If we fall, then all will die!
Hold the sky! Hold the line!
Twosun blood and Britain’s spine!
[Outro (chant, fading)]
Hold the sky—
Hold the sky—
Hold the sky—
Hold the line!
