lyrics

We are alone
When the Deathriders find us...and the storm begins
Their barrels are smoking
In rings of clouds that give us their cause
Now we’re drawing our guns

Hold it together ‘til we make it through
Our lives rest upon the battle crew
Trade blow for blow ‘til one grows cold
Are we strong enough to keep our ship whole
And hold the balance of our fragile lives?
Trading bombs and bullets to survive
We keep the darkness from our eyes
In The War That Tears Apart The Skies

Two beasts of a brawl that spew ammunition
We are ruptured and torn
The damages rise
And so does the will to give up the fight…
…but we’re still standing high

Hold it together ‘til we make it through
Our lives rest upon the battle crew
Trade blow for blow ‘til one grows cold
Are we strong enough to keep our ship whole
And hold the balance of our fragile lives?
Trading bombs and bullets to survive
We keep the darkness from our eyes
In The War That Tears Apart The Skies
