[Verse 1]
Ash on the lava rocks
Your shadow won't stay still
You came in fire and pride
I came to end the will
The bridge is burning red
Your blade shakes in your hand
I know the boy you were
I know the rage you planned
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that howl in the sky
Feel that judgment fall
You swung for heaven's gate
But you built your own wall
[Chorus]
You chose the fire
I chose the line
Brother to brother
Now bleed in time
You chose the fire
I hold the higher ground
(hold the higher ground)
When you fall, it's the sound
Of your kingdom burning down
[Verse 2]
You lunge through cinders and steam
I move with broken grace
Every step you take
Writes ruin on your face
Your scream cuts through the smoke
My blade meets yours again
This is the cost of hate
This is where kings end
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that howl in the sky
Feel that judgment fall
You swung for heaven's gate
But you built your own wall
[Chorus]
You chose the fire
I chose the line
Brother to brother
Now bleed in time
You chose the fire
I hold the higher ground
(hold the higher ground)
When you fall, it's the sound
Of your kingdom burning down
[Bridge]
Black sun, red stone
Your name starts to crack
I begged you to turn back
But you bit into wrath
Now the sky is split wide
Now the stars go cold
Only dust on your crown
And a wound left to hold
[Breakdown]
You were the spark
I was the scar
You reached too far
Too far, too far
You were the spark
I was the scar
Now there's nothing left
But the dark
[Final Chorus]
You chose the fire
I chose the line
Brother to brother
Now bleed in time
You chose the fire
I hold the higher ground
(hold the higher ground)
When you fall, it's the sound
Of your kingdom burning down
You chose the fire
I chose the line
Brother to brother
Now bleed in time
