Burning Blackout 2 (versie 2)

Verse 1

Ravens on the clock tower, feathers in the smoke

Iron dogs are barking underneath my block

Burning blackouts where the sirens never stop

Runestones flickering like a dead man's watch

I've got the weight of all the towers I've climbed

Every window shattering and every door I left behind

This is not the end, this is just another hour

The fire in my chest is burning louder than any power

Pre-Chorus

Is it dawn or dusk? Does it even matter now?

Can you feel it coming too?

Let it burn us down, let it take us whole

Where the blackout meets the dawn, we'll be the ones to hold

Chorus

Burning blackout, burning black

Take my hand through all that's left of this place

Burning blackout, burning night

We're still standing when the sirens stop their cry

Burning blackout, burning dark

I don't know what's next but I'm ready for it now

Rise up with me in the ashes and the smoke

This is just the beginning, let it take us home

Verse 2

Concrete crumbling where our shadows used to be

Neon dying in a lake of static sea

Steel wolves howling through every empty street

We're not running anymore, we're walking backwards in our sleep

Every tower falling one by one

Each brick that hits the ground is one more mile to go before I'm done

This is not surrender, this is just a change

I'm trading cities for a horizon full of flames

Pre-Chorus

Is it dawn or dusk? Does it even matter now?

Can you feel it coming too?

Let it burn us down, let it take us whole

Where the blackout meets the dawn, we'll be the ones to hold

Chorus

Burning blackout, burning black

Take my hand through all that's left of this place

Burning blackout, burning night

We're still standing when the sirens stop their cry

Burning blackout, burning dark

I don't know what's next but I'm ready for it now

Rise up with me in the ashes and the smoke

This is just the beginning, let it take us home

Bridge

No more walls, no more steel

Just fire and the open field

Not goodbye, not yet

We're still walking through the blackout together yet

Chorus

Burning blackout, burning black

Take my hand through all that's left of this place

Burning blackout, burning night

We're still standing when the sirens stop their cry

Burning blackout, burning dark

I don't know what's next but I'm ready for it now

Rise up with me in the ashes and the smoke

This is just the beginning, let it take us home
