Midnight Sun Devours the Sky

Verse

Concrete towers where the glaciers stood

Fjordlight burning through a hundred skulls

We traded crowns for circuitry

The old gods dying as we learn to fly

Viking horns are now sub-woofers

Ragnarok's fire is an engine's roar

Ash and oil instead of ancient rivers

Crowned in chrome where the dragons were before

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the horn across the steel

Every heartbeat matching every wheel

We forget that summer was a king

Now the city wears his name like everything

Chorus

Midnight sun devours the sky

Young gods building skyscrapers high

We forgot the war, we forgot the flame

Blood and circuitry, the same damn game

Verse

Troll machines where ancient giants slept

Wolves are traffic, not a hunting fleet

I carved my name into the city's spine

Now it reads the same as every other sign

Horns of war now just a traffic sound

Thunder drums beneath the concrete ground

We traded fire for fiber optic light

Never noticed when the old gods left tonight

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the horn across the steel

Every heartbeat matching every wheel

We forget that summer was a king

Now the city wears his name like everything

Chorus

Midnight sun devours the sky

Young gods building skyscrapers high

We forgot the war, we forgot the flame

Blood and circuitry, the same damn game

Bridge

Perhaps we built this to forget

To carve a crown from something that is not yet

The fire still burns beneath the chrome

It just wears another name at home

I'm standing on a mountain made of glass

Every tower taller than the one that passed

But deep down I remember how it felt

Like a flame was burning inside of steel

Chorus

Midnight sun devours the sky

Young gods building skyscrapers high

We forgot the war, we forgot the flame

Blood and circuitry, the same damn game
