Fire the Flares (Music Video)
By The Ronin Project · Metal · From the album Inside the Embers
The tide has teeth, it drags me low
The chains I bear still dig their claim
The monsters circle, feeding slow
I breathe the dark, it knows my name
The storm takes hold, my grip is thin
I brace the mast though wood may crack
The howl of wind is pulling in
A thousand hands to drag me back
I've fought alone for far too long
The truth I feared has made me strong
Through fire's heat and water's depth
I've learned the cost of every breath
The harder storms will strip my pride
Until there's nothing left to hide
But when my voice has strength to tell
I'll raise it high, I'll break this shell
Fire the flares, light up the sky
Let them know I'm still alive
Send the signal through the rain
I can't outrun this sea of pain
Fire the flares, the night won't last
Guide me home through shadows cast
If I'm to fall, I'll fall in sight
Of hands that pull me back to light
The deck is slick, my footing gone
The waves come in, relentless, cruel
The weight I've carried far too long
Has made me strong, but not a fool
I see the shore through lightning's glare
I feel the reach of outstretched hands
No shame in breathing borrowed air
When drowning takes the strongest stands
The lines I've cut, the ties I've burned
Have led me back to lessons learned
A single spark can light the dark
A flare can be a beating heart
I will not hide, I will not fade
This call for help is not afraid
To let the world know where I am
A broken man, but not condemned
Fire the flares, light up the sky
Let them know I'm still alive
Send the signal through the rain
I can't outrun this sea of pain
Fire the flares, the night won't last
Guide me home through shadows cast
If I'm to fall, I'll fall in sight
Of hands that pull me back to light
Fire the flares, light up the sky
I'm not afraid to be seen when I'm broken
Fire the flares, let it fly
The chains will snap when the signal's spoken
Fire the flares, light up the sky
Let them know I'm still alive
Send the signal through the rain
I can't outrun this sea of pain
Fire the flares, the night won't last
Guide me home through shadows cast
If I'm to fall, I'll fall in sight
Of hands that pull me back to light
