If you see the beacons bleed across the night,
And the engines drag beneath their baleful light,
Straight to the jaws where the black stones roar,
To the broken heart of the dying Four!
If you're a man who must earn his bread,
They'll call you forth where the angels dread!
Take your axe and climb the stair—
No one told you what was waiting there!
If you stand where the shattered rooftop glows,
While the wind bears ash wherever it blows,
They swore the blaze was a harmless flame,
Yet the silent fire has no name!
Hold your line though your pulse beats slow,
The unseen reaper already knows!
Copper lingers upon your tongue—
Another hero dies too young!
Brother, can't you read the crimson warning?
Can't you feel there'll be no morning?
You fight the fire while a darker power wakes below!
They marched you in with nothing but your nerve,
To face a foe no river's meant to serve!
The light has sealed a fate you'll never know!
Unit Four—the heart awakes!
Every chain of heaven breaks!
Hear the silence, feel the scream,
Beneath the blood-red, haunted gleam!
Brother, isn't it time to leave the line?
Can't you taste the poison in the brine?
Why spend your years for hollow praise?
For nameless words in darker days?
Every step becomes a vow,
Tomorrow's gone—there's only now!
The unseen fire has called your name—
Don't let them feed you to the flame!
Unit Four—the heart awakes!
Every chain of heaven breaks!
Hear the silence, feel the scream,
Beneath the blood-red, haunted gleam!
Ash to ash, breath by breath—the darkness takes its due!
Steel may bend, flesh may fail—there's nothing left to do!
Sirens fade, dawn turns pale, shadows claim the sky!
Safe beyond the lines of fear, the mighty never die...
You're marching in—do you know what you're facing?
Can't you feel death's cold embracing?
Brother, don't throw all your tomorrows away!
Do you think that your courage will save you?
When the truth comes, who will remember you?
All the hearts that you cherish still call out your name!
While the rulers who stand where the danger is far,
Write your fate beneath a radioactive star!
Leave the line! Turn away!
You're coming with me!
Leave the line! Turn away!
You're coming with me!
