Stand up—steel in my chest I bite down,
I hold
my breath
No mercy, no retreat
Ash in the air,
I can taste the heat
Boots on the ground to a hard backbeat
I don’t look down,
I don’t look away
Cut through the noise,
make the fear obey
Hear the horns—let them warn you
I’m the spark
that runs through you
Lock the jaw,
draw the line
We hit as one on the downbeat time
Break it down,
burn it out
Turn the earth when we come around
Strike the gate,
shake the ground
No one lives when the war drums sound (ooh) (hah)
We don’t stop (hah)
We don’t break
Smoke on my skin like a brand-new name
Every step forward feeds the flame
I hear your threats and I laugh them small
One by one, watch your towers fall (hahaha)
Hold the ruin in my hands
Let it crumble where it stands
Quiet now—then teeth and thunder
Break it down,
burn it out
Turn the earth when we come around
Strike the gate,
shake the ground
No one lives when the war drums sound (oh-oh) (ahhhh)
