(Ethereal guitar delay with heavy reverb, distant and shimmering)
Walking through the shadows of a neon street
Counting every heartbeat of the obsolete
We drew a line right through the sand
But we forgot the soul of the common man
The news is screaming in a foreign tongue
Another bell of silence has been rung
Can you hear the echo of the falling rain?
Washing off the ink of a billion names
Break the mirrors, shatter the lies
Turn the cold anger into sunrise!
Shout for love in the sea of debris!
Across the great divide, we’re breaking free!
If we stitch our lonely stars together tonight
We’ll burn a hole through the edge of the light!
(Soulful cries, bono-style high notes)
WOAH-OH-OH!
We are the spirit that will never die!
Burn the walls and reach for the sky!
Shout for love in the sea of debris!
Across the great divide, we’re breaking free!
If we stitch our lonely stars together tonight
We’ll burn a hole through the edge of the light!
One love, one soul
Across the divide
We are one
We are one
(Final explosive drum crash, feedback fading into silence)
