Lyrics: Michael-Christopher Koji Fox
Lyric Concept & Translation: Natsuko Ishikawa
Heart of ember, autumntide
Cooling swiftly, bleeding light
Smold’ring softly, biding time
Marching forward, left behind
Fire as shadows clash
Forgotten footfalls engraved in ash
Fire will be repaid
’Fore our echoes begin to fade
Fade away... Fade away...
Heart of ember, autumntide
Burning brightly, hot and white
Kindred severed neverwhere
Sorrow’s silence, we needn’t bear
Stories sown along the way
Tales of loss and fire and faith
Dys an sohm in (Our slumber disturbed)
Rohs an kyn ala na (All my brothers wake)
Mah morn (Death comes)
Dys an sohm in (Our slumber disturbed)
Sahl djahs afah an (Vengeance will be ours)
Storm of blood
Born from blood
Of our fallen brothers
Thunder stilled
Oaths fulfilled
Now we yearn for freedom
Born in blood (still we forge ahead)
Stained in red (unto tomorrow)
Bound by love (so we forge ahead)
Purpose fed (unto tomorrow, bring us tomorrow)
Courage thrives (ever forge ahead)
Hand in hand (unto tomorrow, welcome tomorrow)
Souls aligned (that we forge ahead)
Forge ahead (yeah, we forge ahead, yeah, we forge ahead)
Forward
Our song of hope, she dances on the wind higher, oh higher
E’er our vows endure, and remain forever strong
Standing tall in the dark do we carry on
On wings of hope, you rise up through the night higher, oh higher
Carrying our song, cradled fast within your arms
That its chorus might ring for all
One brings shadow, one brings light
Two-toned echoes tumbling through time
Tumbling down to the never
Every step we take
Echoes in our wake
Winding ’round our fate
To forge ahead
Should we lose our way
Tire of all this pain
We won’t be afraid
To forge ahead
Fearless hearts ablaze
(When the world comes crumbling down)
No more time to waste
(Know I’ll be there)
No, it’s not too late
(Though our fleeting moment has gone)
To forge ahead
(You’re not—you’re not alone YEAH)
As we ride again
(As you turn your eyes to the stars)
To another end
(Oh, I’ll be there)
Where it all begins
(With my chorus guiding you)
Forge ahead
(Forge ahead)
