September Sky Wind & Waves lyrics

I'm tortured by the wind and the waves
The storm beats down now on top of the graves
We're standing tall prepared for the rain
Gotta tell you something the sheltered sustained

[Verse 1]
In a world below
Rots the ones that try to steal hope
And a land we know
Hides the force that won't reveal them

[Pre-chorus]
I won't choke on the pain, be burned by the flame
I'm trying but there's something that I need you to say
Not crushed by the weight, not scared of a fate
I'm trying and there's something that I need you to be

[Chorus]
I'm tortured by the wind and the waves
The storm beats down now on top of the graves
We're standing tall prepared for the rain
Gotta tell you something the sheltered sustained

[Verse 2]
When I thought I'd die

When I thought I can't remember
Fire burns inside
Torches all these fallen legions

[Pre-chorus]
I won't die by their blade, nor suffer their shame
Gut churning and there's something that I need you to say
Not crushed by the weight, not given to fate
Still trying but there's something that I need you to be

[Chorus]
I'm tortured by the wind and the waves
The storm beats down now on top of the graves
We're standing tall prepared for the rain
Gotta tell you something the sheltered sustained

[Bridge]
We won't bow down to kings on thrones
We won't sell out to skin and bone.

[Instrumental until end]
