I was iron in the void, Moving silent through the dark. Hunter of the shadows, Raised to run down pirates, my mark Medals on my uniform, missions that I had carried out. Every pirate I pursued Was another victory to count. the tides turned over, Stars slipped out of phase. Now I’m living on the vessel I was sworn to chase. With a princess, with a dreamer, With the outlaw I once pursued Funny how your world can shift When the maps are all made new. Who are you now? (Who are you now) When the fighting fades? (When the fighting fades) Can there be glory (glory) without a war (No War) When the drums fall quiet, who am I fighting for If the world I know is sinking into shadow, Can I still rise without the roar? I was forged in storms and fire, But that fire’s burning low Maybe glory isn’t breaking what I’m told to break Maybe glory is the friends I choose to hold. The pirate flies a rhythm, engines flaring in the dark. The princess keeps her courage Like a lantern, like a spark. And the dreamer (oh the dreamer) Sees a sunrise in the night, Says the ship is never lost If all of us can unite Truth is rising (Truth is rising) Like a tide I can’t ignore Can there be glory (glory) without a war (No war) When the flags go still, who am I fighting for If the world I know is sinking into shadow, Can I still rise without the roar? Maybe the future Isn’t written in the orders that I mind. Maybe strength is in the promise That no one stays behind. Maybe home is not another station But the ones who stand beside Even if they used to be the ones That I was sworn to fight. Can there be glory (glory) without a war (no war) When the flags go still, who do I stand for If the stars above are shifting into new paths, Maybe I can rise without the roar. No more glory from the fights that I used to chase, But the glory of the ones I’m fighting with To find a place… to come back home Glory (glory) and maybe no more war
