[Verse] (Male) Concrete walls hum with a hundred names, Footsteps echo like a war that still remains. A faded stripe on a coat I donât wear, But the beat still pounds beneath my chestâ*here*, (Female) Lights flicker through the trainâs long breath, A ghost of rhythm in the darkâs slow death. I hear itâlow at first, then rising high, A storm in silence, climbing to the sky. [Pre-Chorus] (Male) I didnât come back for gold or fame, Just the shape of my old name... (Female) But the tunnel remembers what I lostâ And itâs singing me back home, no cost. [Chorus] (Both) Oh, the subway sings me home! (One) Echoes of a march thatâs never done! (Two) Iâm not fallen, Iâm not undoneâ (Both) This undergroundâs the only sun! (One) I was a soldier, but Iâm still alive! (Female) And the worldâs still singing, (Male) And the worldâs still singingâ (Both) Oh, the worldâs still singing! [Verse] (Male) That last salute, the wind, the red, I thought it was my end, my final bed. But every turn, a whisper now, A thousand hands in every now⊠(Female) That old war cry, so long unspent, Now rises not as deathâ*but as a tent*. A shelter where the lost can stand, And say, âIâm still a man.â [Pre-Chorus] (Male) The wires hum a different tune, A memory I can finally undo. (Female) The ground remembers what I gaveâ And itâs handing back the light I saved. [Chorus] (Both) Oh, the subway sings me home! (One) Echoes of a march thatâs never done! (Two) Iâm not fallen, Iâm not undoneâ (Both) This undergroundâs the only sun! (One) I was a soldier, but Iâm still alive! (Female) And the worldâs still singing, (Male) And the worldâs still singingâ (Both) Oh, the worldâs still singing! [Bridge] (Male) I used to think the silence meant I died⊠(Female) But the silence was a waiting hymn inside. (Male) Every rail, a hymn in motion, (Female) Every tunnelâ*my salvation*. (Both) And the walls donât hold my past in chainsâ Theyâre holding out my name, through the rains! [Chorus] (Both) Oh, the subway sings me home! (One) Echoes of a march thatâs never done! (Two) Iâm not fallen, Iâm not undoneâ (Both) This undergroundâs the only sun! (One) I was a soldier, but Iâm still alive! (Female) And the worldâs still singing, (Male) And the worldâs still singingâ (Both) Oh, the worldâs still singing! [Outro] (Both) Singing⊠(One) Still singing⊠(Female) Still singing⊠(Male) Still singing⊠(Both) Still singingâ (whisper) Still singing⊠(fade)
