The Left Behind Lyrics

A haunting sense of what has yet to come

A stillness in the air provides the silence for the drums

That echo through the trees and mark the age of war

Thunder fills the sky and shakes the ground

Oh can't you hear the trumpets sound

It won't be long

Till we all rise up from the fire and dust

And we'll sing our song

Sing a battle cry at the top of our lungs

'Cause a war has come

And we won't back down and we'll fight till it's done

So we carry on

It's a war to save our lives

There's a calm before the storm

A change in winds that sets this all on course

And alters fate for you and I

A hundred years or more I've fought for this

I've worked these weathered

Hands down to the bone in search of bliss

And I would rather fight to stay alive than fall

I'm carrying this torch into my grave

I won't bury more than I can save

It won't be long

Till we all rise up from the fire and dust

And we'll sing our song

Sing a battle cry at the top of our lungs

'Cause a war has come

And we won't back down and we'll fight till it's done

So we carry on

It's a war to save our lives

There's a calm before the storm

A change in winds that sets this all on course

And alters fate for you and I

The left behind

We're on our own

Not heaven sent

Not holy so

The serpents sing "These flames will grow"

The trumpets sound their final note

The left behind (We will rise up)

We're on our own

Not heaven sent (We will rise up)

Not holy so

The serpents sing "These flames will grow" (We will rise up)

The trumpets sound their final note (We will rise up)

The left behind

We're on our own

Not heaven sent

Not holy so

The serpents sing "These flames will grow"

The trumpets sound their final note

There's a calm before the storm

A change in winds that sets this all on course

And alters fate for you and I

The left behind
