[Verse 1] You signed on the dim display Thumbprint bright on the glass that day They called it a pilgrim fleet You called it a chance to leave this place Posters on the station walls Golden shields over crimson worlds You never read the smaller text Too busy dreaming of a better world [Pre Chorus] We lined up under silver banners Names engraved in copper light Signed our lives with trembling thumbs On glass that cut the night Prayers encoded in our helmets As the dropships shook the stars Told our mothers "We'll be honored" As we vanished into scars [Chorus] Now we’re burning in the dark for them Ashes in a nameless system Blindfolds in orbit Circling blame Praying to a dead transmission (Rouge... Sang...) (Rouge... Sang...) (Rouge... Sang...) (Rouge... Sang...) [Verse 2] First town was a white-blue moon Kids drew tanks in the dust at noon Your captain said “keep looking up” As the sky turned red in the visor’s bloom They fed you the daily brief Sanitized Every shattered street “Collateral clouds ” just coded words For names you’d never even learn [Pre-Chorus] They spoke in charts and shining planets Promised peace on every screen Fed us maps of crimson borders Called it righteous Called it clean We cheered inside the briefing hangar Every lie in perfect sync Raised a toast to distant caskets Too afraid to even think [Chorus] Now we’re burning in the dark for them Ashes in a nameless system Blindfolds in orbit Circling blame Praying to a dead transmission We believed We believed Every ordered Endless mission Now the stars look like receipts For the cost of our conviction [Bridge] I watched my brother fall in orbit Just a flicker on a chart They changed his face into a symbol Tore his name out from my heart I knelt before the gleaming podiums Heard the thunder of their praise Every cheer became an airlock Blowing out the better days [Chorus] Now we’re burning in the dark for them Ashes in a nameless system Blindfolds in orbit Circling blame Praying to a dead transmission We believed We believed Every ordered Endless mission Now the stars look like receipts For the cost of our conviction [Outro] So take this medal from my chest Melt it down Return the ore (Rouge Sang...) Send it back into the darkness Far from every planned-out war If belief must have a captain Let it answer Face to face (Rouge Sang...) Not from thrones above the planets But from every empty place (Rouge...Sang...) (Rouge...Sang...) (Rouge...Sang...) (Rouge...Sang...)
