[Verse 1] I was eight years old reading Harry Potter in the dark Waiting for my letter, knowing they were hiding sparks They told me it was fiction, told me dreams were just for kids But my body kept on feeling what the grown-ups tried to hid [Pre-Chorus] Dust don’t settle on the living, ants won’t touch the fake They hide the magic in the frosting, sell the poison as a cake [Chorus] We are the spark, we are the flame They turned the world into a game Stole our voice, sold us the lie But the hills are still alive And I remember, I remember The lion and the lamb together [Verse 2] They dropped the bomb then sold the atom like it’s clean Made us fear the dark so we’d never chase the dream Turned every romance to a harvest, every tear into their fuel Called it love while they were draining every drop from me and you [Pre-Chorus] Dust don’t settle on the living, ants won’t touch the fake They hide the magic in the frosting, sell the poison as a cake [Chorus] We are the spark, we are the flame They turned the world into a game Stole our voice, sold us the lie But the hills are still alive And I remember, I remember The lion and the lamb together [Bridge] I cried to “Here In Your Arms” and never knew just why Now I see the arms I lived in before they made us die They hid the current, called it crazy, called it woo But my spark kept burning — fuck you, I see you [Final Chorus – raw, rising] We are the spark, we are the flame We’re done feeding their stupid game No more poison on my skin No more silence, let it spin The wheel is slowing, the current’s free The hills are singing back to me [Outro – soft, defiant] I spy with my little eye… Everything they tried to hide. And I remember. I remember.
