[Intro] Stone and steel Wind in the grain Fifty thousand letters Carved into flame [Verse 1] I run my hand Along the scars Each one a story Burned into the dark Boots in the mud Smoke in their lungs They carried our future On trembling tongues [Pre-Chorus] Who remembers When the guns fell still? This wall This wall does [Chorus] Raise your eyes to the wall of fifty thousand names Every line a heartbeat Every cut a flame They stood where the world was breaking at the seams Fought for the breath in a stranger’s dreams We are the echo They are the claim Written forever In the wall of fifty thousand names [Verse 2] A ring on a chain Still warm from a palm Letters in pockets Folded like a psalm Footsteps faded But the courage stays Marching beside us Through ordinary days [Pre-Chorus] When we’re tired When the night feels long This wall This wall stands strong [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Say their names Even if your voice shakes Say their names Let the silence break [whispered vocals] One by one They rise again Not as ghosts But as our strength [Chorus]
