Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
They ruled from the heavens, four wings and a crown,
too holy to bleed while the city burned down.
I broke that old throne, kept two wings and a blade,
and I stand where you stand, in the wreckage we made.
No god on a mountain, no light far away —
I'm down in the trenches, and I'm winning the day.
[Pre-Chorus]
So when the horns fall quiet and the last of you kneels,
and you swear that you're finished — that's the lie a body feels.
[Chorus]
On your feet — we are not through,
the fallen rise when I call to you.
They'll swear the fight is finished, done —
then I raise my blades, and we charge as one.
Not for glory, not for a crown,
but for every soul this war took down.
So bleed if you must, but you don't stay down.
We go again.
[Verse 2]
The air bends and shimmers wherever I land,
I strike before daybreak, I don't wait for command.
I never sleep, never rest, never tire of the call,
first through the breach and the last one to fall.
Sunhome behind me, the sky split with fire,
Parhelion is rising, the war-horns climb higher.
[Pre-Chorus]
So when the horns fall quiet and the last of you kneels,
and you swear that you're finished — that's the lie a body feels.
[Chorus]
On your feet — we are not through,
the fallen rise when I call to you.
They'll swear the fight is finished, done —
then I raise my blades, and we charge as one.
Not for glory, not for a crown,
but for every soul this war took down.
So bleed if you must, but you don't stay down.
We go again.
[Bridge]
I carry the names of the ones I couldn't save,
a war I walked out of that I can't leave the grave.
You call me an angel — I know what I am:
the last thing still standing between you and the end.
I only know peace like a blade knows its sheath,
so I'll war without end for the ones who still breathe.
[Bridge build]
Get up, get up — feel the second wind come,
the line that they broke stands and answers the drum.
[Final Chorus]
On your feet — we are not through,
the fallen rise when I call to you.
They'll swear the fight is finished, done —
then I raise my blades, and we charge as one.
Not for glory, not for a crown,
but for every soul this war took down.
Till the last of the darkness is beaten to ground —
we go again. We go again.
[Outro]
On your feet, soldier. We go again.
