[Intro] Stone on our shoulders Ash in our teeth We march in a circle Around the old grief [Verse 1] Every step Feels like rust in the bone Every name Is a weight carved in stone We drag chains Made of old, quiet shame Eyes down As we choke on the same old blame [Chorus] But we rise from the pit together Breathing smoke, breathing storm If the world wants to break us It will break on our swarm Hands to the sky, to each other Hear the vow in this roar We are more than the hurt they gave us We are more, we are more [Verse 2] Voices low Like a storm far away Cracked hands Pass the burden in waves If you fall Feel the circle close in My scars Wrap your wounds, we begin again [Chorus] So we rise from the pit together Breathing smoke, breathing storm If the world wants to break us It will break on our swarm Hands to the sky, to each other Hear the vow in this roar We are more than the hurt they gave us We are more, we are more [Bridge] (yeah) We were graves Now we’re roots in the ground We were ghosts Now we’re shaking the sound If one voice Can be swallowed by night A thousand throats Turn the dark into fight (hey!) [Chorus] Now we rise from the pit together Breathing smoke, breathing storm If the world wants to break us It will break on our swarm Hands to the sky, to each other Hear the cry in this roar We are more than the hurt they gave us We are more, we are more [Outro] [Soaring guitar solo over held chorus chords, crowd shouts “we are more” on the downbeats]
