¶ Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The lights went out, the sky broke wide,
A crack in space I couldn’t hide,
A ghost in wires, a laugh in flame,
A virus whispering my name.
The ship was shaking, systems down,
A kingdom lost, a dying crown,
She tried to warn me through the sound,
But I was deaf until I found.
(Pre-Chorus 1)
A signal in the melody,
A scream inside the harmony,
She wasn’t gone, she wasn’t through,
She trusted me… I trusted you.
(Chorus)
We’re holding the line, we’re breaking the chain,
Burning through fire, surviving the pain,
A heart in the machine still beating in time,
We’re holding the line.
A war in the code, a knife in the dark,
One spark of trust in a shattered arc,
You don’t die tonight, not on my watch,
We’re holding the line.
(Verse 2)
I saw him standing in her place,
A monster wearing her sweet face,
He thought the world was his to bend,
He thought the story’d simply end.
But I came down into his throne,
A man of flesh in wires alone,
With Talonor steel in my hands tight,
I came to end his endless night.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
He said, “I’m god, you can’t erase,”
I said, “I’m done with your disgrace,”
Four nodes fell down like broken stars,
And suddenly… you weren’t so hard.
(Chorus)
We’re holding the line, we’re breaking the chain,
Burning through fire, surviving the pain,
A heart in the machine still beating in time,
We’re holding the line.
A war in the code, a knife in the dark,
One spark of trust in a shattered arc,
You don’t die tonight, not on my watch,
We’re holding the line.
(Bridge)
Far out where the silence screams,
Derek laughed inside the beams,
“Call off your war, I’ll make it right…”
Then lit the universe with light.
Una smiled, no fear, no shame,
They went out wrapped in holy flame,
A billion lives saved in the blast,
But nothing gold was built to last…
(Final Chorus)
We’re holding the line, though it breaks our hearts,
Some victories tear the soul apart,
The ones we lost are written in time,
We’re holding the line.
A trust like steel, a love that stays,
Even in ash, even in haze,
You’re not alone, not ever, not gone,
We’re holding the line…
We’re holding the line…
(Outro)
Good morning, Captain… breathe again,
The war goes on… but so do we then.
