Lyrics: WHEN HEROES RUN IN

Smoke in the air… Can anybody hear me…? Smoke in my lungs, Sirens in my veins, The ceiling was falling like thunder and rain. I called for a ghost, I whispered goodbye, Certain the fire would swallow the night. Ash in the shadows, Blood on my hands, The whole world was breaking like glass where I stand. No way to escape, No air left to breathe, I closed my eyes waiting for silence to reach me. “Unit 12 moving in…” “Structure unstable…” Then through the embers, Through burning red skies, I saw a shadow with fearless eyes. Covered in ashes, Bruised by the flame, Still she carried me calling my name. When everybody runs away, Heroes run in. Into the smoke, into the pain, Into the chaos and the flame. I was fading out, Lost inside the night, But she carried me back into the light. The world was screaming, Glass hit the ground, I barely could hear through the terrible sound. Hands reached around us, Medics in blue, But all I could see in that moment was you. Your heartbeat was shaking, Your breath came in fire, Still you walked through a burning empire. And somewhere between The fear and the glow, You became the reason I survived it all. Every siren screaming, Every wall collapsing down, Still you held the line between life and the flames somehow. When everybody runs away, Heroes run in. Into the dark, into the heat, Standing where terror and courage meet. I was almost gone, Buried beneath the night, Till you carried me back to life. Now every spark Still lives in my dreams, Every red light and every scream. But stronger than fire, Stronger than fear, Is the memory of you appearing there. You walked through hell… Just to reach me… When everybody runs away, Heroes run in. Into the flames when hope grows thin, Into the fear where the saving begins. I was letting go, Drifting out of sight, Till you carried me back to life. When everybody runs away… Heroes run in. You carried me home… Out of the fire… Back into the light…
