[Intro] Voices rise Stone and sky Names on flags Wind replies [Verse 1] Boots on the rail Rust on the sign that bears your name You drew storms in a notebook Turned every margin into flame You said “If I fall Carve my song into this land” Now the hills keep humming Like they finally understand [Chorus] This is the Angelic Alliance Calling your heart to the front of the line Roaring like thunder in rapture and riot Ryan This riff is your war-cry Oh The Angelic Alliance Shaking the dust from the edge of the sky We are the echo You are the defiance Ryan Your riff parks in our lives [Verse 2] Kids on the curb Trace your chords on the air at night Hear that scratch of a pick In every passing satellite Every scar on your knuckles Reads like a hymn in disguise Every shout from the crowd Is your name rewritten in light [Chorus] This is the Angelic Alliance Calling your heart to the front of the line Roaring like thunder in rapture and riot Ryan This riff is your war-cry Oh The Angelic Alliance Shaking the dust from the edge of the sky We are the echo You are the defiance Ryan Your riff parks in our lives [Bridge] [Choir drops to near a cappella Floor toms distant] We carry you We carry you (hey!) In every break In every bloom We carry you We carry you From quiet rooms to coliseums [Chorus] This is the Angelic Alliance Calling your heart to the front of the line Roaring like thunder in rapture and riot Ryan This riff is your war-cry Oh The Angelic Alliance Shaking the dust from the edge of the sky We are the echo You are the defiance Ryan Your riff parks in our lives (oh-oh) Ryan Your riff parks in our lives
