Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse]
In the heart of Wilmington, as darkness took the stage,
Voices of liberty were shackled by the rage.
With hope we stood, united, our voices dared to claim,
The rights of freedom, never knowing shame.
[Pre-Chorus]
But shadows crept through cobblestone,
A plot of night, hearts turned to stone.
[Chorus]
Hear our cries as the fires burn, lighting up the night,
Lost in the shadows over Wilmington, we fight for what is right.
Thundering hearts in a silenced town, drowned by a tide of fear,
In the echoes of our footsteps, remember why we’re here.
[Verse]
Once thrived in vibrant whispers, our dreams freely sung,
In streets now haunted by the terror they have sprung.
Brothers and sisters, fallen, where justice found its grave,
On this blackened morning, no one left to save.
[Pre-Chorus]
Through the smoke, our spirits bleed,
Yet from these ashes, we’re freed.
[Chorus]
Hear our cries as the fires burn, lighting up the night,
Lost in the shadows over Wilmington, we fight for what is right.
Thundering hearts in a silenced town, drowned by a tide of fear,
In the echoes of our footsteps, remember why we’re here.
[Ragtime Piano Solo]
In the darkest times, our courage must never die,
Rise, oh wounded city, cast your spirits high!
[Bridge with Ragtime]
[Final Chorus]
Hear our cries as the fires burn, lighting up the night,
Lost in the shadows over Wilmington, we stand with all our might.
Thundering hearts in a silenced town, a new dawn we will steer,
In the echoes of our footsteps, let the world hear.
[Outro]
Voices of the fallen, guide us through the night,
In the shadows of Wilmington, we carry your light.
