Inferno Finale

I woke where the old bells burned

With thunder in my chest

The queen of the wreckage raised a glass to the rain

She said, boy, every crown is just a chain

I saw the gates shake,

heard the brass dogs cry

And I swore I would meet her where the mountains split the

sky Raise the curtain,

strike the wire

Name the fear and feed the fire

If the heavens want a battle

Let them look me in the eye We are the fire on

the hill tonight

We are the names they could not bury

Sing till the rafters split wide

Carry me, carry me,

carry me home

Down by the river stood a carnival crown

All cracked gold leaf and velvet torn down

She pointed west with a match in her hand

Said the lost don’t kneel,

they learn how to stand Raise the curtain,

break the wire

Turn the wound into a choir

If the heavens want an answer

We will lift it higher

We are the fire on the hill tonight

We are the names they could not bury

Sing till the rafters split wide

Carry me, carry me,

carry me home

If I fall before the morning

Let the stage remember me

Not as a saint or a soldier

Just a voice that would not leave

We are the fire on the hill tonight We are the names

they could not bury

Sing till the rafters split wide Carry me,

carry me, carry me home

Carry me home (ooh) Carry me home
