Blood on stones
Silence like a blade
I find you broken in the mess we made
Gun to your head
Ghosts at your feet
I'm not here to watch you retreat
I lost them too
I know their names
But you don't get to drown in shame
We are what's left
We're all that's alive
If you fall now, no one survives
I'm not your ghost
I'm not your grave
Get up gustave you're the one they gave
Don't you die
Don't you leave me alone
We're the only ones left to bring them home
Raise your eyes, even if they're blind
You're still the blade
You're still the spine
Don't you die
Not tonight if you're breathing
You're still in the fight
I know the weight
I've carried it too
But you can't burn out
I need you to move
This is not a forgone conclusion
Not the place for your own execution
When one falls, we continue on
When dark sings, we make a dawn
They're gone yes but their fire remains
And it's burning inside your veins
I know you're tired of being strong
I know you think you've done all wrong
But if you give up now, you erase their names
Stand up gustave
Feel the flame
Don't you die
Don't you fade from my sight
We're the only ones left to make this right
Raise your eyes, even if they're blind
You're still the blade
You're still the spine
Don't you die
Not tonight if you're breathing
You're still in the fight
