Smoke and Mirrors

On a plane around the world To a place that isn't home Wrack and ruin place he'd heard Unlike any he had known Young September went all wrong It began 9:42 Thirteen hours until the dawn When the gates were broken into I saw fire rain down On the other side of town This is our war now This is battleground Heard the leader man say Stand down, hold, and stay They didn't listen though Our brothers' only hope Smoke and mirrors I see you through the smoke and mirrors Two were lost in the firestorm Two fell in the fight There wasn't time to hope or mourn yet As they fought to hold the line For each other and for good For the lives of those below Facing odds they understood Six watchmen on the night road I saw fire rain down On the other side of town This is our war now This is battleground Heard the leader man say Stand down, hold, and stay They didn't listen though Our brothers' only hope Smoke and mirrors I see you through the smoke and mirrors They dropped him from the wall But I'll never let him fall Long live the brave Long live the brave On both sides of the grave I saw fire rain down On the other side of town This is our war now This is battleground Heard the leader man say Stand down, hold, and stay Didn't listen though Our brothers' only hope Smoke and mirrors I see you through the smoke and mirrors Smoke and mirrors I see you through the smoke and mirrors I see you through the smoke and mirrors Smoke and mirrors
