[Verse 1]
I wake in a tower of glass
Where the sidewalks shine like chrome
My hands got a pulse of white
And I don’t fight alone
Gang tags on the alley walls
Machine wolves on the run
They came for the heart of the block
Now I’m two steps from the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
Click-click, I lock my aim
One breath, then the frame goes thin
Every shadow here wants me gone
So I cut the dark back in
[Chorus]
Lightblade riot, lightblade riot
I split the night in two
Lightblade riot, lightblade riot
I’m made to break through you
Built by light, I bite like thunder
Watch the whole block flash and bend
Lightblade riot, lightblade riot
Till the last frame ends
[Verse 2]
Railcars roar on the sky line
I leap from beam to beam
Metal kings in a broken pack
Try to drown out my gleam
One swings low with iron arms
One fires red from the face
I turn their sparks to drifting rain
And leave no trace in the place
[Pre-Chorus]
Click-click, the streets reply
Humming through the heat and smoke
If they want a war of steel
I bring a sharper joke
[Chorus]
Lightblade riot, lightblade riot
I split the night in two
Lightblade riot, lightblade riot
I’m made to break through you
Built by light, I bite like thunder
Watch the whole block flash and bend
Lightblade riot, lightblade riot
Till the last frame ends
[Bridge]
For the kids in the high-rise cracks
For the names they tried to erase
I’m a spark with a hungry edge
Running straight through space
If the whole world comes apart
I’ll still stand in the glow
One bright hand, one harder heart
And nowhere left to go
[Final Chorus]
Lightblade riot, lightblade riot
I split the night in two
Lightblade riot, lightblade riot
I’m made to break through you
Built by light, I bite like thunder
Watch the whole block flash and bend
Lightblade riot, lightblade riot
Till the last frame ends
