Verse
Concrete steps still burning at midnight
Chlorine skin under the floodlight
Sixteen hearts on a borrowed roof
Nothing left for us to prove
Empty cans in a pyramid stack
Thunder rolling like it's calling us back
We carved our names in the water tank
Every summer we never thanked
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it rising through the floor
Something ancient knocking at the door
We were built for this, we were built to burn
Chorus
This is the golden reverie
Fists up high, we run free
Every heartbeat hits the drum
Gods of nothing, kingdom come
Skin like fire, eyes like gold
This is the story we were told
This is the golden reverie
Young and holy, running free
Verse
Rooftop speakers cracked and screaming
Chain-link fence with the moonlight gleaming
Barefoot sprint through the parking lot
Every second burning hot
Sirens far off, we don't care
Smoke and static in the air
We're the flame that the dark can't kill
Standing tall on a broken hill
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it rising through the floor
Something ancient knocking at the door
We were built for this, we were built to burn
Chorus
This is the golden reverie
Fists up high, we run free
Every heartbeat hits the drum
Gods of nothing, kingdom come
Skin like fire, eyes like gold
This is the story we were told
This is the golden reverie
Young and holy, running free
Bridge
Someday we'll be quiet, someday we'll be old
Someday this whole city won't remember what we told
But tonight the sky is ours, tonight the streets are true
Tonight we are the fire and the fire is coming through
Chorus
This is the golden reverie
Fists up high, we run free
Every heartbeat hits the drum
Gods of nothing, kingdom come
Skin like fire, eyes like gold
This is the story we were told
This is the golden reverie
Young and holy, running free
