[Verse 1] Boots in the dust At my door again Smoke on the wall Names in the sand Mother, don’t cry The moon has a scar Spear in my hand I know who we are [Pre-Chorus] Hear the drum call Hear the steel sing Ash on my tongue Crowns turning thin Raise the black cloth Lift it high The field holds its breath Before the sky [Chorus] War, war, war It calls my name War, war, war And burns the rain Hold the line Hold the line We are the fire We are the fire [Verse 2] Water in jars Stolen by dawn Bread in the fist Then the fist is gone Brother in red With a cracked out smile He fell to the road And I stayed awhile [Pre-Chorus] Hear the drum call Hear the steel sing Ash on my tongue Crowns turning thin Raise the black cloth Lift it high The field holds its breath Before the sky [Chorus] War, war, war It calls my name War, war, war And burns the rain Hold the line Hold the line We are the fire We are the fire [Bridge] Break the gate Break the vow Who owns the land When it bleeds out now? Sand to bone Bone to flame I won’t forget I won’t be tamed [Final Chorus] War, war, war It calls my name War, war, war And burns the rain Hold the line Hold the line We are the fire We are the fire War, war, war Until the sun War, war, war Till the war is done
