Lyrics: Ada Lund
Music: Ada Lund
Boots on cracked glass
Ash in my lungs
Still laughing
Maps all burned black
I carry new roads in my jacket
Scars on both hands
Glow like a promise I shouldn’t keep
Every step sparks
Blue fire rising under my feet
Raise that aether-fuelled aegis high
Let the wild wind break around your light
If the sky falls
Let it fall
I’ll stand
With this burning shield in my bare hands
Aether-fuelled aegis
Say my name
I was forged in the fallout
Unafraid
If the world ends
Let it end like this
With you and me
And an aether-fuelled aegis
Jokes on the ruins
We’re painting over the warning signs
You trace my pulse
Like you’re reading a battle line
Fear tastes like rust
On a tongue that still says “try”
I see your doubt
And I lift it screaming to the sky (hey!)
Raise that aether-fuelled aegis high
Let the wild wind break around your light
If the sky falls
Let it fall
I’ll stand
With this burning shield in my bare hands
Aether-fuelled aegis
Say my name
I was forged in the fallout
Unafraid
If the world ends
Let it end like this
With you and me
And an aether-fuelled aegis
When the bright cracks open
When the ground tilts
Groans
I’m a thin
Small body
With a thunderstorm soul
I can’t save everything
But I can guard this moment
Your shaking fingers
Folded into mine (hold it)
So raise that aether-fuelled aegis high
Let the wild wind break around your light
If the sky falls
Let it fall
We’ll stand
Two stubborn hearts
One blazing hand
Aether-fuelled aegis
Say our names
We were forged in the fallout
Unafraid
If the world ends
Let it end like this
Our last word spoken
Through an aether-fuelled aegis
