9. The Spire's Last stand

[Verse 1] They've got us pinned against the edge – a hundred drones upon the ledge Her arm around my neck – she's weak – but strong enough to hear me speak I pull the transmitter out and send the footage all about But before I press the final key – I whisper "Ember – you're all I see" She looks at me with tear-filled eyes – she says "Then tell the world – no lies" I take a breath – I press the button – I tell the city what we've put in To this fight – to this flame – I tell them her name – Ember – the flame [Pre-Chorus] Every screen in every home now sees what they've become The city watches – gasps – and turns – the whole machine begins to churn Every screen in every home now sees what they've become The city watches – gasps – and turns – the whole machine begins to churn [Chorus] LAST STAND! WE BROADCAST THE TRUTH! Every lie from their youth – on display for all to see We are not their property – FINAL TRANSMISSION! STATIC BURST! She's my first – and she's my thirst – if we fall – we fall with pride She's forever by my side – she's forever by my side [Verse 2] The drones don't fire – they just hover – as if confused by their cover Because the city's now awake – and every citizen will take A stand against the ones who stole their memories and their soul We've lit a fuse that can't be stopped – our love – the final drop I turn to her – I say it loud – so every drone and every cloud Can hear the words I've never said – "I love you – living or dead" She laughs – a broken – beautiful sound – she says "I love you – safe and sound" [Pre-Chorus] Every screen in every home now sees what they've become The city watches – gasps – and turns – the whole machine begins to churn Every screen in every home now sees what they've become The city watches – gasps – and turns – the whole machine begins to churn [Chorus] LAST STAND! WE BROADCAST THE TRUTH! Every lie from their youth – on display for all to see We are not their property – FINAL TRANSMISSION! STATIC BURST! She's my first – and she's my thirst – if we fall – we fall with pride She's forever by my side – she's forever by my side [Verse 3] The enforcers on the ground start dropping their weapons – one by one They've seen the footage – they've seen the sun – they know the war is overrun By truth – by love – by two who dared – by Ember's code – the one she shared I hold her tighter – she's so thin – but she's the battle that I win A drone descends – a speaker crackles – a voice that's human – not a shackle Says "Stand down – we've seen enough – your love is stronger than our stuff" [Bridge] We collapse – we're crying – laughing – the city's rising – we're not drafting A surrender – we're accepting victory – we're accepting history She looks at me – I look at her – we're bruised – but we're the ones who were Not broken – just a little bent – our love – the final argument [Outro] Stand... stand... on the spire's burning rim... we won... we won... Because she's mine – and I'm him... Stand... stand... We broadcast – they received – we believed – and we achieved... Forever – forever – her and me... her and me...
