I felt my bones shiver Across rifts of time I saw ghosts in the mist And their faces like mine Then I looked to the footsteps And gazed on a sign That said "call my name I'll join in the fight" Broken and withered We will rise again My brothers and sisters In death we are friends Incandescent together A slow fading light The efforts cascading Our time is tonight
Fractured and feeble Ordinary people Putting resolve to the test Nobody chose to be risen But new life is given When we light a bonfire to rest
Old friends and rivals We sit by the flame To share in the moment Before we can claim Our own destiny's purpose In each of our homes We've all got our battles But no one's alone Nameless and searching The light keeps us warm In need and in danger It guides through the storm As we share in a question Will we meet again? To sing by the embers And brace for the end
Fractured and feeble Ordinary people Putting resolve to the test Nobody chose to be risen But new life is given When we light a bonfire to rest
Undying forever Through war and dark weather Binding to search for a light Some lit by grace or by embers We're searching together Starved for that break from the fight Swords losing sharpness To angels and darkness These soldiers push on through the mire Now we're all faced with the ending The burn before mending A vision to let there be fire
Fractured and feeble Ordinary people Putting resolve to the test Nobody chose to be risen But new life is given When we light a bonfire to rest
