[Verse 1] We’re all gathered in the great hall Where the banners used to hang By the fire in the stonework We hold on to what we can Some stand close for the warmth now Some lean back in worn-out chairs Dragged up near the flames Like we might still find answers there [Pre-Chorus] Save Zabulon, they say Save Zabulon tonight But the shadows in the corridors Make every brave thing tight [Chorus] Save Zabulon, save Zabulon (Hold on, hold on) The hall is warm, the danger’s near Save Zabulon, save Zabulon (Stay low, stay low) We hear the fear in every word we hear [Verse 2] “No,” Amadeo says again Just a boy with steady eyes “It’s too dangerous, I told you I won’t say it twice” Since the footage hit the people There have been protests in the square And the dictator’s watching harder With more guards everywhere [Pre-Chorus] Save Zabulon, they say Save Zabulon tonight But the smoke above the hearth Can’t hide the coming light [Chorus] Save Zabulon, save Zabulon (Hold on, hold on) The hall is warm, the danger’s near Save Zabulon, save Zabulon (Stay low, stay low) We hear the fear in every word we hear [Bridge] We warm our hands and listen To the crackle in the stone Old halls keep old promises When no one stands alone Amadeo won’t repeat it And maybe that’s enough Sometimes love looks like warning Sometimes love looks tough [Final Chorus] Save Zabulon, save Zabulon (Hold on, hold on) The hall is warm, the danger’s near Save Zabulon, save Zabulon (Stay low, stay low) We hear the fear in every word we hear Save Zabulon, save Zabulon (Hold on, hold on) Through protest smoke and iron light Save Zabulon, save Zabulon (Stay low, stay low) We keep him close until the night is right
