[Verse 1] Cold dawn Steel-grey sea Boot prints vanish Where the waves break free Breath held Salt in the lungs Letters in pockets Names on our tongues [Pre-Chorus] Every heartbeat Fighting the tide Every footstep Nowhere to hide [Chorus] Raise your voice for the echoes on the sand For the ghosts who never made it off that land Every wave still carries what they couldn’t say We remember We remember them today [Verse 2] Gates drop Thunder and fire Sky raining splinters Wire after wire Young eyes Staring at hell Hands shaking Praying “Please let me tell” [Pre-Chorus] Every heartbeat Fighting the tide Every brother Falling beside [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Boots and helmets rust beneath the foam But the souls walk on They’re marching home Crosses in a row where the wind sings low We speak their names So they still glow [crescendo] [Chorus]
