[Intro] Engines roar in the dark Steel teeth bite the ground Boot prints Broken flags Thunder with no clouds [Verse 1] Wake up to sirens Coffee tastes like rust Family photos Shaking in the dust Orders on the table Names typed in red We march in a straight line Trying not to think ahead [Chorus] We are fire in the rain Burning under an iron sky Screaming names through the flame Refusing just to fall and die If the world must break tonight Let it shatter in our hands We are fire in the rain Rising from the blackened sand [Verse 2] Heartbeat like gunfire Rattle in my ribs Brothers in the foxhole Breathing through their fibs “Yeah I’m fine Don’t worry” Laughing way too loud Helmets hide the terror Eyes give it all away somehow [Pre-Chorus] Every step The earth shakes Every choice Another grave Can we carve a doorway Out of what we couldn’t save? [Chorus] We are fire in the rain Burning under an iron sky Screaming names through the flame Refusing just to fall and die If the world must break tonight Let it shatter in our hands We are fire in the rain Rising from the blackened sand [Bridge] [piano and violins swell under low vocal register] I see faces in the smoke All the lives we never wrote Letters never sent Prayers caught in my throat [guitars climb High lead screaming] If I make it through this storm Will my hands still feel like mine? Or just haunted Always counting Every wasted Stolen time [guitar solo][crescendo] [Chorus] We are fire in the rain Burning under an iron sky Screaming names through the flame Refusing just to fall and die If the world must break tonight Let it shatter in our hands We are fire in the rain Rising from the blackened sand
