Songtekst

[Verse 1] There’s ash on the banner line And smoke in the civic hall Old friends won’t share the road Now they stare through every wall A hand that used to lift you up Now points a crooked blame They feed the room on fear and doubt Then hide behind a name [Pre-Chorus] But I still hear the same old vow From porch to market square When trouble takes the better road We’re always there [Chorus] Hold the line Hold the line Don’t let them split our name Hold the line Hold the line We were built for better days [Verse 2] In the dust of the checkpoint lane A mother shares her bread While men in gold-tied suits above Count coins and words unsaid They speak in cold red warnings To keep the crowds in place But every lie gets smaller When you look it in the face [Pre-Chorus] And I can feel the townsfolk rise Like thunder under rain No more borrowed fear tonight No more borrowed pain [Chorus] Hold the line Hold the line Don’t let them split our name Hold the line Hold the line We were built for better days [Bridge] Let the loud ones drum their war Let the masked ones play their game We are hands that build again We are more than any claim When the dark comes calling hard We answer side by side From the river to the mountain pass We are the turning tide [Chorus] Hold the line Hold the line Don’t let them split our name Hold the line Hold the line We were built for better days [Outro] Hold the line Hold the line We are still the same
