lyrics

When the battle lines are drawn, and the time has come
When your hopes have turned to ash, and there’s nowhere left to run
I see faces all around me, shining expectations
And awaiting realisation
When the barricades come down, and time is running out
When there’s nothing left to lose, and our minds are filled with doubt
It’s too late for us to stop, we’re hidden from the light
And wretched creations take the night

Holding on to anything I can
With nothing left to hold onto
I’ll slowly rise towards the light
Inside the fire of our remains

(One last time) I’ll stand out on the edge again
(One last time) And pray for a sign
(One last time) I’ll fight for everything I’ve never know
(One last time) I’ll fight for tomorrow, one last time

When the battle lines are drawn, and the time has come
When there’s nothing left to save, and your time is done
I see clarity in conflict, and my eyes are clear
Through the smoke and dust, and through my fear
Wretched creations rise above the night
Raining down on us, forever fuelling the fight
And now it’s come to this; I know my purpose now
Reincarnate from the ashes, born inside the glow

(One last time) And pray that we can leave it all behind
(One last time) So when the sky is falling
(One last time) And death operates in lines
(One last time) Even if I see no future

When the battle lines are drawn, and the time has come
When your hopes have turned to ash, and there’s nowhere left to run
I’ll fight for death or glory, and climb towards the sun
On the dawn of a new world
