Grey Skies Anthem

Woke up in the rain-slicked street, another day in this concrete beat Chasing shadows of what could be, lager dreams in a factory sea The tube rattles on, faces blank and cold, stories untold in the stories sold But I'm holding on to that spark inside, where the fire of youth won't subside

Feel the pull, the tide is turning, hearts are burning, lessons learning

We're singing out under grey skies, raising fists to the endless nights No more waiting, no more lies, this is our time, our battle cry Oh, we rise, we rise, through the smoke and the haze In the heart of the city, we'll find our ways

Pub lights flicker, mates around the bar, sharing laughs that heal the scars Love's a gamble in the neon glow, win or lose, it's all we know Missed connections on the last train home, echoes of songs in the midnight roam But the rhythm calls, it pulls us near, drowning doubts in another beer

Feel the pull, the tide is turning, hearts are burning, lessons learning

We're singing out under grey skies, raising fists to the endless nights No more waiting, no more lies, this is our time, our battle cry Oh, we rise, we rise, through the smoke and the haze In the heart of the city, we'll find our ways

And in the quiet, when the noise fades away

I wonder if we'll make it through the grey

But then the beat kicks in, and we start again No looking back, just forward, my friend

We're singing out under grey skies, raising fists to the endless nights No more waiting, no more lies, this is our time, our battle cry Oh, we rise, we rise

, through the smoke and the haze In the heart of the city, we'll find our ways

We rise... we rise... under grey skies...
