[Verse 1]
You took the gate, not the ground
Burned my name in the dust
I kept a coal in my fist
Waited for the rust
Step by step, black boots on stone
Counted every lie you threw
Now the blade in my chest
Turns red back through you
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drums in the hall
Hear the iron call
I came back for the wound
I came back for it all
Low voice: crawl if you want
High voice: stand if you dare
One spark in the ash
And I’m already there
[Chorus]
Return fire, return fire
Burn through the wire
Return fire, return fire
Take back the pyre
(Return fire)
(Back to the pyre)
[Verse 2]
I saw your towers lean
I saw your banners fold
I drank the bitter smoke
And I learned to be cold
Your wolves on the road
Your knives in the dark
I wrote my revenge
With a fist and a spark
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drums in the hall
Hear the iron call
I came back for the wound
I came back for it all
Low voice: crawl if you want
High voice: stand if you dare
One spark in the ash
And I’m already there
[Chorus]
Return fire, return fire
Burn through the wire
Return fire, return fire
Take back the pyre
(Return fire)
(Back to the pyre)
[Bridge]
Black sky, split in two
We rise from the grave
One mouth says mercy
One mouth says rave
Low voice: break them
High voice: make them fall
When the blood hits the stone
We remember it all
[Final Chorus]
Return fire, return fire
Burn through the wire
Return fire, return fire
Take back the pyre
Return fire, return fire
We answer in fire
(Answer in fire)
(Return fire)
