When The Sky Breaks Open
Walber Costa
Low hum in the distance, wires start to sing
A pulse in the silence, like the end of everything
Shadows on the skyline, stretching into flame
We wrote it in the heavens, now we fear the name
Cold wind through the avenue, whispers in the dust
Every fallen empire started just like us
Signals in the static, calling from beyond
Are we the last believers, or the ones who got it wrong?
You feel it in your bones tonight
A tremor in the great divide
When the sky breaks open, where do we run?
When the stars fall down like a loaded gun
We were chasing forever, now forever's gone
In the light of Armageddon, we hold on
Sirens in the distance, echo through the streets
Faith is on the corner, begging on its knees
Hands up to the heavens, searching for a sign
But the silence answers louder every time
We built our towers way too high
Now we're watching angels cry
When the sky breaks open, where do we run?
When the stars fall down like a loaded gun
We were chasing forever, now forever's gone
In the light of Armageddon, we hold on
If love's the last resistance
Don't let it fade away
Through fire and the distance
We are the spark that stays
Oh
Don't let it end this way
When the sky breaks open, we become
More than the fear, more than the sum
Of every broken promise we've outrun
In the fire of Armageddon
We are one
The echoes keep calling
But we're still holding on
