Lyrics
Beneath the dim sodium glow of Kensington streets
We carried fractured names and unfinished dreams
Schoolbags heavy with silence and sleepless nights
Ghosts stitched beneath our weary eyes
The city whispered
“You’ll fade like the others…”
But we learned young
How to survive the weather
Cold laughter echoed through abandoned train lines
While the Mersey wind howled like a warning sign
And somewhere between the ruin and the rain
We forged ourselves again and again
Echoes remain…
In corridors of memory…
We are still here…
We were the outcasts of the northern blocks
Children of static and fractured clocks
Each trauma hardened the bones beneath our skin
Every collapse taught us how to begin again
The world threw stones with venomous grace
Criticism burning like smoke in our faces
Yet we developed armour no blade could sever
A barricade of spirit held together forever
Lecture halls, late trains, exhausted eyes
Still sketching futures beneath collapsing skies
Our coursework stained with coffee rings and doubt
But none of us ever considered bowing out
And when despair came flooding through the avenue
We stood shoulder to shoulder and carried each other through
No force alive could dismantle what we became
A brotherhood carved deep within the flame
WE ARE INVINCIBLE
Oh-oh… Oh-oh…
Nothing can break the bond we forged in fire
WE ARE INVINCIBLE
Oh-oh… Oh-oh…
Even when the city sinks into the wire
The guard may die
But never surrender
That phrase became our pulse forever
Side by side within the dark
We turned our wounds into a spark
HEY! HEY!
INVINCIBLE!
HEY! HEY!
UNBREAKABLE!
There are echoes living underneath these streets
Fragments of voices trapped in concrete
Photographs trembling in abandoned halls
Memories breathing through shattered walls
The past still lingers in cathedral haze
Like spectres wandering through forgotten days
And every chord drenched in endless reverb light
Sounds like our souls refusing to die
We remember winter bus stops after midnight
Sharing cigarettes beneath flickering white lights
Dreaming of futures none of us could see
Yet believing was enough to keep us free
Time attempted to dismantle what we knew
But true fraternity outlives the ruin
Years may vanish like smoke above the docks
Still our names remain engraved within these blocks
No retreat
No submission
Only movement through collision
We rebuilt ourselves from wreckage and decay
Turned every scar into another reason to stay
Hear the old voices calling…
From the ruins…
From the rain…
From the past we survived…
THE GUARD MAY DIE
BUT NEVER SURRENDER
THE GUARD MAY DIE
BUT NEVER SURRENDER
WE ARE INVINCIBLE
Oh-oh… Oh-oh…
Even when the heavens collapse above our heads
WE ARE INVINCIBLE
Oh-oh… Oh-oh…
Even when the world wishes us erased instead
Our scars illuminate the dark like constellations
A map of every war that built our foundations
Side by side beyond the hands of time
Our haunted voices still survive
HEY! HEY!
INVINCIBLE!
HEY! HEY!
UNBREAKABLE!
The streets are silent now…
But the echoes endure…
Fragments of laughter
Inside forgotten ruins
And somewhere beneath Liverpool’s fading lights…
Our ghosts still sing together…
