Verse 1 The factory clock struck a quarter to none, Another long week and the damage was done You stood by the gate with your boots in the dust, Said, "They took what they could, but they never took us" The streetlights flickered like they knew the score, Shadows of names on a boarded-up door I turned the key, heard the old engine fight, You climbed in beside me and said, "Drive through the night" Pre-Chorus No crown, no fortune, no road paved in gold Just two beating hearts that refuse to grow cold Chorus We'll build a kingdom out of sparks, Raise it shining through the dark Every scar will leave a mark, But it won't tell us who we are Let the heavens fall apart, Let the lightning strike us hard We'll build a kingdom out of sparks, And light it with our hearts Verse 2 We found an old house at the edge of the line, With cracks in the walls and a “For Sale” sign The roof let the rain through, the windows were bare, But you saw a future already living there We worked through the summer with blood on our hands, Turning broken old timber to something that stands And every night underneath the moon, We danced on the floor of an unfinished room Pre-Chorus No choir of angels, no promise above Just sweat, stubborn hope and a dangerous love Chorus We'll build a kingdom out of sparks, Raise it shining through the dark Every scar will leave a mark, But it won't tell us who we are Let the heavens fall apart, Let the lightning strike us hard We'll build a kingdom out of sparks, And light it with our hearts Post-Chorus Oh—out of the ashes Oh—out of the dark We'll build it higher A kingdom of sparks Verse 3 Now the years roll on like wheels on steel, Some dreams disappear and some become real There are photographs fading beside our bed, And a thousand things we should have never said But when the cold wind rattles the frame, You reach for my hand and I do the same We may bend, we may bruise, we may come undone, But we're still the two who refused to run Bridge We don't need forever written in stone, We made forever from the things we've known From every slammed door, every empty chair, Every night we thought nobody cared So turn up the radio, open the blinds, Let the morning find us still alive We were never lucky, we were never saved— We just kept giving more than the world could take Guitar Solo Breakdown One flame in the wind One light in the rain One reason to rise And begin again Final Chorus We built a kingdom out of sparks, Raised it shining through the dark Every scar became a part Of the fire living in our hearts Let the heavens fall apart, Let the lightning strike us hard We built a kingdom out of sparks— Now nothing tears it down Final Post-Chorus Oh—out of the ashes Oh—out of the dark We built it together Our kingdom of sparks Outro When the last light fades And the night turns cold, I'll still be here With your hand to hold
