📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The tomb had a tongue made of iron and red
It spoke through the dust where the old ones fed
A stolen wall with a patient flame
Found its way back to its public name

[Pre-Chorus]
Do not call it treasure, call it a face
Looking for daylight, looking for place

[Chorus]
Walls remember red, and red remembers us
All our bright empires, all our borrowed dust
Open up the doorway, let the old room sing
Walls remember red when the morning comes in

[Verse 2]
A bird without motion, a cup without wine
A dancer still turning on the edge of time
The hall goes quiet, the present gets thin
As if the buried world just walked back in

[Bridge]
Not every miracle falls from the sky
Some are returned with a label nearby
Some are a color refusing to fade
Some are a debt finally paid

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Walls remember red, and red remembers us
All our bright empires, all our borrowed dust
Open up the doorway, let the old room sing
Walls remember red when the morning comes in

[Outro]
Red on the stone, sun on the floor
The ancient room is hidden no more
