The Glorious Fire (feat. Faraday)

I watched a nation rise from a spark in the dark People shouting “we choose our own way, we make our own mark” No crown, no chains, no silence on their will A glorious fire lit by rebels burning bright and burning still You built a world from courage and noise From stubborn hearts and reckless joys I saw it blaze across the centuries’ swell A promise born in freedom you carried it well Bring back the glorious fire the one that roared from every street Bring back the glorious fire the beat of liberty under your feet You had a nation made of will and choice A rising storm of a million voices Bring back the glorious fire I’ve seen it burn, I’ve seen it rise I saw you stand through storms that tried to tear you apart But you held the line with grit and a wild beating heart It wasn’t perfect, never quiet, never tame But it was yours and you were proud to shout its name You built a world from courage and noise From stubborn hearts and reckless joys I saw it blaze across the centuries’ swell A promise born in freedom you carried it well Bring back the glorious fire the one that roared from every street Bring back the glorious fire the beat of liberty under your feet You had a nation made of will and choice A rising storm of a million voices Bring back the glorious fire I’ve seen it burn, I’ve seen it rise I’ve walked through endings, I’ve walked through fate I’ve watched your fire flicker, but it’s not too late The spark is waiting it’s yours to reclaim Light it again and shout its name Bring back the glorious fire the one that roared from every street Bring back the glorious fire the beat of liberty under your feet You had a nation made of will and choice A rising storm of a million voices Bring back the glorious fire I’ve seen it burn, I’ve seen it rise
