[Verse 1]
We shared the same dreams
Same scars, same schemes
Side quests, main plot
You were there on my team
Back then we bled
For the same old theme
Two kids screaming
"We gon’ change this scene"
You took the fast lane
Chasing that cheat code
I took the long road
Carrying beast mode
You said "win first"
I said "pay the toll"
Now they call me hope
You the shadow in the hall
[Chorus]
We ain’t who we used to be, brother
Used to stand back to back, now we face each other
I’m the hero in their eyes, you chose the other side
Same blood, different paths, now our flags collide
We ain’t who we used to be, brother
They raise my name up high, you’re the fallen thunder
We used to fight the whole world, now you aiming straight at me
I’m the symbol that they trust
You the fear they never see
[Verse 2]
You said "they fake"
You said "they weak"
Now you speak hate
Through your gritted teeth
You want the throne
Burn the fields for a seat
I want a home
Where the lost can sleep
Every scar on my back
Got your voice in it
Every cheer in the crowd
Got your void in it
You call it power
When you break what you touch
I call it coward
‘Cause you scared to need love
[Chorus]
We ain’t who we used to be, brother
Used to stand back to back, now we face each other
I’m the hero in their eyes, you chose the other side
Same blood, different paths, now our flags collide
We ain’t who we used to be, brother
They raise my name up high, you’re the fallen thunder
We used to fight the whole world, now you aiming straight at me
I’m the symbol that they trust
You the fear they never see
[Bridge]
If the credits roll
And it’s you or me (you or me)
Know I still remember
Who you used to be (used to be)
If you drop your pride
I could call you back
But you drew that line
Now it’s hero
Versus wrath
[Chorus]
We ain’t who we used to be, brother
Used to stand back to back, now we face each other
I’m the hero in their eyes, you chose the other side
Same blood, different paths, now our flags collide
We ain’t who we used to be, brother
They raise my name up high, you’re the fallen thunder
We used to fight the whole world, now you aiming straight at me
I’m the symbol that they trust
You the fear they never see
