Walls of fire

Verse 1

We built our homes on borrowed time,

Heroes chasing warning signs,

Ten long years and the stars don’t speak,

Just the ghosts of the gods we seek.

Your face in the flicker of a torchlight flame,

Echoes whisper every name,

City of gold and broken oaths,

We bleed for love, but we never [Pre-Chorus]

And the waves keep calling, calling,

Dragging us down to the deep,

While the While the world keeps burning, burning,

We’re too proud to leave

Chorus

Oh, the [Chorus]

Oh, the walls of fire are falling tonight,

We’re the stories they’ll tell by the morning light.

Oh, we tried to be gods, but we’re only men,

Troy is burning again and again.

Bridge

Smoke on the shore, can you hear us sing?

The fall of kings means everything.

From dust to dust, we fade away,

But love and war both make us stay.

Whoa-oh, the city’s burning down,

Whoa-oh, can’t hear a hero’s sound,

Whoa-oh, hearts like thunder strike—

Troy falls [Chorus]

Oh, the walls of fire are falling tonight,

We’re the stories they’ll tell by the morning light.

Oh, we tried to be gods, but we’re only men,

Troy is burning again and again.

Bridge

Run through the smoke, through the fire and sound,

Hearts beat fast as the walls come down.

We were kings, now we’re running scared,

Still singing loud like we never cared.

Shout it out to the gods above,

We were fools, but we fought for love.

Let the thunder roll, let the daylight die,

We’ll burn bright in the endless sky!

(Drum fill → crowd chant joins in)

Hey! (hey!) We’re the lost, the divine!

Hey! (hey!) Still alive in the firelight!

Hey! (hey!) We’re the lost, the divine!

Hey! (hey!) Still alive in the firelight!

Chorus

Oh, the walls of fire are falling tonight,

We’re the stories they’ll tell by the morning light.

Oh, we tried to be gods, but we’re only men,

Troy is burning again and again.

Final Chorus / Outro

Oh, the walls of fire are falling tonight,

We’re the echoes that haunt the divine.

Oh, we tried to be gods, but we’re only men,

Troy is burning again and again.

Yeah, Troy is burning again and again.

Instrumental outro

The ashes rise, but we’ll never be erased
