Lyrics
[Intro, Clean electric guitar arpeggio, Soft drums, Atmospheric pads] They had a dream to kiss the blue fairies They had a dream to hug the scars of the morn They had a dream in the wild open prairie Yet in the wartorn fields, no place to mourn So they lighted up their cigarettes smoke Though blighted, be the harsh gun's smoke They charged along to face the breaking storm [Chorus, Drums rising, Vocal harmonies, Anthemic rock drive, Male \u0026 Female duet] Follow your heart, when the stormwind is roaring Follow your voice, that opens along Follow that woman, standing next to you She is your sister, braving the storm He is your brother, reaching out to you as the cannon's smoke, bites his mangled form [Verse 2, Steady groove, Electric guitar strums, Solid rock beat, Male lead] A pledge taken together to banish their rainbows, like birds on a feather their echoes unsung in sorrow's embrace let our shadows die We want to see the martyrs reborn [Bridge, Half-tempo, Echoed vocals, Tom-heavy drums, Female lead with Male backing] The embrace speaks, Shall we part? in friendship, faith Hold on still, strong Heart. We will wipe out this gloomy dawn till the distance that plagues the reins of death The reins are yours, too long But this is where the parting becomes [Chorus, Anthemic, Full band, Vocal layering, Distorted guitars, Male \u0026 Female voices soaring] sad smiles burning, to throw their guns They remembered who they really were, under the sun under the sun, they were finally brothers and sisters under the sun For the first time, the songbirds sang As they frenzied in the fields The play was done [Break, Soft piano + guitar harmonics, Minimal drums, Female voice lead, Male echo] falling apart in broken prayer their mama's last lullaby gone would be their sorrows If we just shared Why do we cry? [Chorus, Uplift, Strong vocal harmonies, Arena rock build, Male \u0026 Female together] The future is reborn The dawn is lifeborn rise together to sing our anthem defying the barriers that bind our nations [Bridge, Guitar solo rising into drums, Soaring lead guitar, Male lead then Female response] As the brothers and sisters, closed in collapsing in the dirt Their clotting tears bled in crawling through the dampened earth their numb bodies, resigned to yield yet the bond dragged them near In the dusty flats of the battlefield their fist of the unspoken air finally bid goodbye, goodbye with the whispers of their mama's lullaby [Outro, Slow fading guitars, Echo vocals, Cymbal wash, Male \u0026 Female whispered harmony] Their last smiling, stillborn faces was a terror to behold Yet a burning witness of Hope eternal to unfold.... no longer did their flags fly high within their hearts, they felt their subtle cries searching for a lost paradise that they denied that they defied. [End, Fading guitar arpeggio, Whispered lullaby harmony, Reverb fade]
