Still We Burn

They called us lost with all hands. Then tell me... who's still answering the call? SPIRIT OF FIRE! These hands were meant to build new worlds; Now they must hold the line. I know the names behind these guns - Your fate is tied to mine. I will not call this ship a grave. She's full of people left to save. WE ARE THE SPIRIT OF FIRE! NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE! Beyond the stars we used to know, This ship is still our home. For every hand that brought us here, For those who won't return - WE ARE THE SPIRIT OF FIRE! AND STILL WE BURN! The road to Earth must burn today; This switch still needs a hand. You Spartans have a war to win. Don't argue. That's the plan. Tell my girl, when she asks why: I stayed so she'd still have a sky. My mind came with a closing date. How terribly polite. I counted heartbeats through the hull And kept watch through the night. When you wake, I won't be there. You're breathing, though. So call us square. I carry you inside my palm Through decks of hostile steel. You break their code; I'll hold the door - Let's make their warship kneel. And when the hull is torn apart, I take you with me through the dark. They cut me off. They caged our troops. They thought I'd disappear. I heard our people through the wire - So let them know I'm here. One prison breached, one squad set free - Now let their army deal with me. Atriox crushed my armored shell, But never heard me yield. My team hauled more than broken bones Back off that killing field. Fit me a helmet. Point the way. He doesn't get the final say. WE ARE THE SPIRIT OF FIRE! NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE! Beyond the stars we used to know, This ship is still our home. For every hand that brought us here, For those who won't return - WE ARE THE SPIRIT OF FIRE! AND STILL WE BURN! They built this ring to silence worlds; I'll teach it how to call. Disarm the weapon at its heart - A beacon for us all. Keep my place beside the glass; I'll find a way across the black. I counted crates, not fallen friends - Until they took them all. You found me where their voices stopped And answered one last call. I aimed their fire at the ground; The Ark awoke and tore them down. The hands that mend. The hands that fight. The voices keeping watch at night. We cannot bring the old days back - BUT WE CAN BRING EACH OTHER THROUGH! WE ARE THE SPIRIT OF FIRE! NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE! Beyond the stars we used to know, This ship is still our home. For every hand that brought us here, For those who won't return - WE ARE THE SPIRIT OF FIRE! AND STILL WE BURN! ONE SHIP! ONE CREW! ONE HOME! STILL WE BURN! Lost to the stars. Never to each other.
