Lyrics
[INTRO — RADIO STATIC] “Contact.” “Visual?” “…Confirmed.” “How many?” “Enough.” [STATIC] “Commander, they’re locking weapons.” “…How long?” “Thirty seconds.” “Will we make it?” [PAUSE] “Does it matter?” [ENGINE IGNITION] --- [VERSE 1] The sky is burning underneath us The horizon disappears in smoke Every warning light is screaming Every calculation says we’re broke Steel is shaking Fuel is fading Something's dying in the hull But the engines keep on turning And the guns refuse to fall --- [PRE-CHORUS] You have nowhere left to run You have nowhere left to hide You can hear the missiles coming You can feel the end arrive So tell me— --- [CHORUS] WILL YOU FIGHT? When the sky says you should die WILL YOU FIGHT? When there’s nowhere left to fly No salvation No retreat No miracle beneath your feet If tomorrow never comes— WILL YOU FIGHT? --- [VERSE 2] Armor cracked across the ceiling Smoke is crawling through the deck Someone's praying in the darkness Someone's laughing from the wreck “Keep the engines running.” “Keep the guns alive.” Nobody asks if we'll survive. Because survival was never promised It was only something we tried --- [PRE-CHORUS 2] There is nothing in the heavens There is nothing in the ground Only metal, blood and thunder And the screaming of the rounds So tell me— --- [CHORUS] WILL YOU FIGHT? When the whole world turns its back WILL YOU FIGHT? When the enemy attacks No salvation No retreat Just another burning fleet If victory is meaningless— WILL YOU FIGHT? --- [BREAK — RADIO CHATTER] “APS?” “Empty.” “Missiles?” “Gone.” “Main gun?” “…Still operational.” “Engines?” “Barely.” “Then why are we moving forward?” [LONG STATIC] “…Because we're still moving.” --- [BRIDGE — QUIET] Maybe there is no purpose Maybe there never was Maybe we're only fragments Of a species built to last Maybe every star above us Will eventually go dark Maybe all that makes us human Is that we still choose to march --- [BUILD] One more shell. One more breath. One more second. One more step. The hull is screaming. The sky is screaming. WE ARE STILL HERE. --- [FINAL CHORUS — FULL ORCHESTRA / CHOIR] WILL YOU FIGHT? When you know you'll never win WILL YOU FIGHT? When the end is closing in When the armor breaks apart When the engines lose their spark When there is no god to hear— WILL YOU FIGHT? WILL YOU FIGHT? WILL YOU FIGHT? --- [OUTRO — RADIO STATIC] “Enemy formation destroyed.” “…Casualties?” [STATIC] “…Commander?” “Yeah?” “Are we going home?” [LONG PAUSE] “…Turn the ship around.” [ENGINE HUM] “We've still got landing legs.” [STATIC] “…What?” “I said—” “WE'VE STILL GOT LANDING LEGS.” [ENGINE ROARS] [END]
