Amber Skyline Requiem 2 (version 2)

Verse

Rust and stone beneath the skin

Amber haze across the floor

The old one's gone but still we keep it going

In every drumbeat and in every fire's glow

We don't forget what they could not hold

Their names etched in every scar that's grown

So we raise our fists against the dying light

And let the smoke and flame be witness to tonight

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the weight of their bones beneath us?

Is it burning in your veins like a wild disease?

What was lost is ours, what remains will live through this

We're not just shadows cast by what's gone before us

Chorus

Amber skyline requiem, let our names ascend

Every ember lights the path that none of us can end

Blood and sweat upon the steel we wield tonight

This is how the ghosts come back to life

Verse 2

Copper sun across the shoulders of the crowd

Fire in every hand where the ashes used to cloud

We don't pray for peace, we only ask to stay

In this warm darkness that devours each passing day

The old ones gave their all upon these stones

Their hearts remain here though their bodies turned to bone

So let the light that's left inside us keep on burning

For every name that vanished and every fire still yearning

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the weight of their bones beneath us?

Is it burning in your veins like a wild disease?

What was lost is ours, what remains will live through this

We're not just shadows cast by what's gone before us

Chorus

Amber skyline requiem, let our names ascend

Every ember lights the path that none of us can end

Blood and sweat upon the steel we wield tonight

This is how the ghosts come back to life

Bridge

They may be gone but they're not lost yet

We are their last ember still on fire

Chorus

Amber skyline requiem, let our names ascend

Every ember lights the path that none of us can end

Blood and sweat upon the steel we wield tonight

This is how the ghosts come back to life
