[Verse 1] Chrome in the hanger glow Hands on the midnight wheel You stepped in like a spark Made the cold machine feel real Five pilots, one pulse But your eyes locked on the frame Black fur, silver teeth And you called it by its name [Pre-Chorus] Tight breath, steady now All the stars leaned in Lock the throat, lift the chest We were born to begin [Chorus] Black Lion, rise! Black Lion, rise! Run through the sky Run through the sky (Black Lion, rise!) (Black Lion, rise!) You wore the night And brought us the light [Verse 2] Jumpsuits, signal flare Heat on the launch bay floor You cut through panic fast And kicked wide every door Shimmer lines in the dark Tracing the beasts above Every turn of your hands Looked like a shout of love [Pre-Chorus] Tight breath, steady now All the stars leaned in Lock the throat, lift the chest We were born to begin [Chorus] Black Lion, rise! Black Lion, rise! Run through the sky Run through the sky (Black Lion, rise!) (Black Lion, rise!) You wore the night And brought us the light [Bridge] Hold on Hear the toms roll low Hands up Let the whole world know Voices Climbing side by side Black Lion Take the open sky [Final Chorus] Black Lion, rise! Black Lion, rise! Run through the sky Run through the sky (Black Lion, rise!) (Black Lion, rise!) You wore the night And brought us the light (Black Lion!) (Black Lion!) Ride, ride, ride Into the bright
