No One Holds the Sky Alone

They call you immortal. They never tell you how much you can lose... and still wake up. I could not keep my son from death; I count his years in borrowed breath. No god can promise we'll survive; I stand for those still left alive. I broke the sky with violet flame; Still couldn't call him back by name. Now all the fury I command Will guard each life still in our hands. Bad odds? Well, that's my kind of deal. Still got a heart beneath the steel. One final hand, and here's the play: You get tomorrow. I'll pay. No one holds the sky alone! Stand beside me, hold the line! Not for gods, and not for glory - For your hand still locked in mine. When the heavens come apart, We defend what we call home. Different scars, one beating heart - No one holds the sky alone! I wear the face that ended you; You saw a man worth saving, too. I can't erase what came before; I'll make this second life mean more. Five names still whisper in my head; I speak the language of the dead. I took their power, not their creed; My grief won't choose who has to bleed. I've died of hunger, come back lean; Don't preach to me what Light should mean. I swore I'd run when stars turned black - Ah, hell - move over. Got your back. I've watched tomorrow burn away, Then woken to the same first day. I wield the cold, defy the fall; This time, I will not lose you all. No one holds the sky alone! Stand beside me, hold the line! Not for gods, and not for glory - For your hand still locked in mine. When the heavens come apart, We defend what we call home. Different scars, one beating heart - No one holds the sky alone! I sent my fleet where gods make war; I hear their silence evermore. No crown can make a heart obey; My brother walks his chosen way. I mapped a thousand paths through night; Still couldn't save her little Light. No second life if I should fall; One life with Saint outweighs them all. I was the terror in their night; Now hatchlings shelter in my Light. Let history remember still - These hands can guard as well as kill. Four hands once taught to seize and break Now build for every hatchling's sake. One House of Light, an open door; No child inherits our old war. My father's gold could not buy dawn; My throne is steel; my world is gone. No bending knee. No gilded lie. We stand as equals - or we die. You call me legend, carved in stone; But I have never stood alone. The Light and dark are mine to wield; But you are why I will not yield. No one holds the sky alone! Stand beside me, hold the line! Not for gods, and not for glory - For your hand still locked in mine. Let the heavens come apart! We are more than flesh and chrome. Every name within our hearts - No one holds the sky alone! I can bring you back. They give you something to come back for.
