[Chorus – getragen, wiederholt, hymnisch]: All we are saying... We held the line. All we are saying... We held the line. [Verse 1 – wie Chronik, ruhig, ernst]: No banners raised. No anthem played. No witness left to see us stay. But through the dark, we stood as one — until the light returned... and shone. [Chorus – wiederholt]: All we are saying... We held the line. All we are saying... We held the line. [Verse 2 – Wendung, aufsteigend]: They said we’d break. They called retreat. But in our silence rose the beat. And when the storm began to clear — the stars were ours. The path was near. [Bridge – entschlossen, klar]: Not for praise. Not to be known. We held the line — and stood alone. But now they sing what we became: the force that held and turned the flame. [Final Chorus – triumphal, episch]: All we are saying... We held the line. And through that fire... We shaped the time. No flag was needed... No name to shine. We are the reason... They crossed the line.
