[Intro]
(Mass Effect)
[Verse 1]
Captain Shepard on the bridge
Red dust on the glass
One more call from the Council
And we’re running out of time
I got your name in my headset
I got your fear in my ear
But I still walk through the fire
Like the end is never here
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who you trust now
Tell me who stays
When the sky goes black
And the hull starts to shake
I don’t bend, I don’t break
I don’t back away
[Chorus]
We run the Citadel
We run it back
(We run the Citadel)
No fate can hold us back
Captain Shepard
Lead us home
(Captain Shepard)
We’re not alone
[Verse 2]
There’s a ghost in the corridor
Blue sparks in the seam
A broken promise breathing
In the wreck of a machine
I’ve seen the cold of deep space
I’ve seen a world come down
Still I’m stepping through the smoke
With my boots on the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who you trust now
Tell me who stays
When the sky goes black
And the hull starts to shake
I don’t bend, I don’t break
I don’t back away
[Chorus]
We run the Citadel
We run it back
(We run the Citadel)
No fate can hold us back
Captain Shepard
Lead us home
(Captain Shepard)
We’re not alone
[Bridge]
If the stars all burn out
If the doors slam shut
I’ll still hear your voice
In the wire and the dust
One heartbeat, one crew
One line in the dark
We survive the silence
We survive the spark
[Chorus]
We run the Citadel
We run it back
(We run the Citadel)
No fate can hold us back
Captain Shepard
Lead us home
(Captain Shepard)
We’re not alone
[Outro]
(You might be alive,)
(You might be nearby!)
