When the Last Alarm Rings

Sanoitukset

[Intro] Steel wakes beneath the ground A warning rolls from town to town [Verse 1] You said the sky was ours to keep Now iron footsteps shake the street I see your signal through the smoke A single mark, a final oath [Pre-Chorus] If the night comes down in pieces If the towers lose their names Take my hand before the silence We were built to face the flame [Chorus] Rise up, let the engines roar We are more than we were before Hold fast when the heavens break No retreat and no mistake Rise up, with the world in sight Turn the fear into guiding light When the last alarm rings through I’ll stand here with you [Verse 2] The old bridge bends beneath the weight Red warning lamps blink out of phase Your voice cuts clean across the band A human promise, flesh and hand [Pre-Chorus] Let the dust fall from the windows Let the black clouds cross the sun Every scar becomes a landmark Every mile says we have won [Chorus] Rise up, let the engines roar We are more than we were before Hold fast when the heavens break No retreat and no mistake Rise up, with the world in sight Turn the fear into guiding light When the last alarm rings through I’ll stand here with you [Bridge] No throne, no crown, no borrowed name Just open ground and tempered steel If the signal fades away You’ll know exactly what I feel [Final Chorus] Rise up, let the engines roar We are more than we were before Hold fast when the heavens break No retreat and no mistake Rise up, with the world in sight Turn the fear into guiding light When the last alarm rings through I’ll stand here with you [Outro] When the last alarm rings through I’ll stand here with you
