[Intro] Ahhh… ahhh… Hands pressed on cracked tiles Metal hums through the hall [Verse1] Smoke curls like coiling snakes Fists trace graffiti, jagged glass Footsteps drum like distant thunder Cinders sting my throat, copper tang Shadows snap behind me, jagged blades on concrete [Pre-Chorus] [Choir]: Lift him, lift him! [Lead]: Shackles rattle, pulse in my veins [Choir]: Lift him, lift him! [Lead]: Fingers bleed through rope knots, echo wide [Chorus] Chains tangle, voices rise — we answer the call Metal sings, feet pound — we answer the call Eyes sharpen, faces burn — we answer the call Ashes scatter, hearts collide — we answer the call [Verse2] Pavement bites my sneakers, sparks on the curb Brick walls sweat stories, veins of paint Cinders drift, sting my throat I step through puddles scented gasoline and rot Shadow twists behind me, a jagged mirror on the ground [Bridge] [Choir]: Lift him, lift him! Tin drums roll across the yard Wind swirls smoke like fingers We hold our breath, brace the charge [Final Chorus] Chains tangle, voices rise — we answer the call Metal sings, feet pound — we answer the call Eyes sharpen, faces burn — we answer the call Ashes scatter, hearts collide — we answer the call [Outro] Ahhh… Footprints in ash, no rain can erase
