Back to Back: The Harvest Is Cancelled

I'll take the first watch, my friend

Rest your weary head

It's a long way down to the bottom

And the stars are beautiful tonight

Verse 1

Ten years I held the sword

Ten years you held the cross

We stood on different sides

Dividing heaven, counting the cost

I prayed unto my saints above

You killed for sinners in the dust

We didn't know: the sky's a lie

The earth's a cage for both of us

We were just the feeding ground

For those who watch us from above

Pre-Chorus

But now the altar is cracked

And truth is shattered glass beneath our feet

Everything we believed in

Was just a game for their deceit

Chorus

Now we stand back to back

Against our own armies, against the heavenly wall

Let the world crumble, let the stars fall

We broke the cage, we are the wild sea

You are my light

I am your steel

The harvest is cancelled

We feel no regret at all

Verse 2

My brothers now are puppets

Broken code and hollow eyes

They look at us like we're a glitch

A rebel error in their skies

My knights have raised their swords on me

Emperors hide behind their sins

But I have made my choice

Better a target than to live among the blind

Pre-Chorus 2

The magic fades

The rust eats the steel

But the stolen spark in the prosthetic burns

We are the anomaly

The glitch in their system

Chorus

Now we stand back to back

Against our own armies, against the heavenly wall

Let the world crumble, let the stars fall

We broke the cage, we are the wild sea

You are my light

I am your steel

The harvest is cancelled

We feel no regret at all

Bridge

You said: "I am a savage"

You said: "I am blind"

But look into my eyes, Inquisitor

We lost it all

But we found ourselves

Charge your prosthetic

I will weave you wings

Let this damned universe see

What we are capable of

Chorus

Now we stand back to back

Against our own armies, against the heavenly wall

Let the world crumble, let the stars fall

We broke the cage, we are the wild sea

You are my light

I am your steel

We are free

We feel no regret at all

Outro

One step forward

Steel and light

Against the sky

Against the ground

Against them all
