This city of coal, forget not this truth,
This city of coal, forget not this truth.
Ashes of embers dwell in this very place,
Dust and mire on every path, but remember this grace:
This earth is not cleansed by tears alone,
Your courtyard, someone has washed it clean.
We are spears, we are spears,
We are spears, we are spears, we are spears.

Behold, the torches, someone has ignited,
Innocent we were, now sharpened and righted.

We are spears, we are spears,
We are spears, we are spears, we are spears.

Behold, the torches, someone has ignited,
Innocent we were, now sharpened and righted.
