[background singing keep repeating and continue in Chorus] Ooh! Oooh! oooh! Oh - Oh - Ooooh! [Chorus] When the sky explodes Fire above my head No war is declared But the night turns red When the sky explodes I stand and I stay In silence and fire I face the display [Intro – Extended] Cold concrete Frozen ground The city holds its breath No bells ring No voices rise Only tension in the air Midnight waits Time stands still Then the first fire answers [Verse 1] Standing still inside the courtyard ground Stone and steel, no sirens, no sound Windows trembling under burning light The sky prepares another strike Shadows crawl across the wall Colors rise and slowly fall Like a frontline made of flame Peace tonight but looks the same [Pre-Chorus] Pressure waves hit skin and bone I read the war by light alone [background singing keep repeating] Ooh! Oooh! oooh! Oh - Oh - Ooooh! Ooh! Oooh! oooh! Oh - Oh - Ooooh! [Chorus] When the sky explodes Fire above my head No war is declared But the night turns red When the sky explodes I stand and I stay In silence and fire I face the display When the sky explodes Fire above my head No war is declared But the night turns red When the sky explodes I stand and I stay In silence and fire I face the display [Verse 2 – Extended] Smoke rolls heavy like a loaded gun The night is young, but the damage is done Each explosion cuts the sky in two A thousand suns in red and blue Ground keeps shaking, windows scream Reality feels like a dream If this is peace, it wears war’s face A battlefield in time and space [Pre-Chorus] No commands, no call to fight Just standing in the burning night [background singing keep repeating and continue in Chorus] Ooh! Oooh! oooh! Oh - Oh - Ooooh! [Chorus] When the sky explodes Fire above my head No war is declared But the night turns red When the sky explodes I stand and I stay In silence and fire I face the display [Chorus – Repeat] When the sky explodes Fire above my head No war is declared But the night turns red When the sky explodes I stand and I stay In silence and fire I face the display [Bridge – Spoken / Dark Sabaton Style] They hear thunder I see flame Different senses Same domain Steel remembers What light has done Even silence feels the sun [Verse 3 – Long] Not a soldier, not a name Not carved in stone, not fed by fame Just a witness in the ash Between each blast, between each flash City burning without fear Celebration dressed as war If the sky must break tonight Let it break forevermore [Breakdown / Instrumental Feel] (Drums only, slow march) (Choir humming) [Pre-Chorus] No retreat, no place to hide Only standing, side by side With the flame and with the dark Waiting for the final spark [background singing keep repeating] Ooh! Oooh! oooh! Oh - Oh - Ooooh! Ooh! Oooh! oooh! Oh - Oh - Ooooh! [Chorus] When the sky explodes Fire above my head No war is declared But the night turns red When the sky explodes I stand and I stay In silence and fire I face the display When the sky explodes Fire above my head No war is declared But the night turns red When the sky explodes I stand and I stay In silence and fire I face the display When the sky explodes Fire above my head No war is declared But the night turns red When the sky explodes I stand and I stay In silence and fire I face the display When the sky explodes Fire above my head No war is declared But the night turns red When the sky explodes I stand and I stay In silence and fire I face the display [Outro – Extended] Smoke fades slow Ash drifts down The night exhales The sky survives So do I [Music ending slowy]
