Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Arlo came in loud
With a grin too wide
Took a fireball
Right to the pride
No robe, no rules
Just a stubborn stare
A pocket full of trouble
And a hand in the air
Varrin checked the line
Counted every step
Armor fit like law
Every move kept kept
He saw Arlo laugh
At the whole front gate
Then caught him when the world
Started to fracture and shake
[Pre-Chorus]
And you said, stay back
I said, watch me
You drew the map
I kicked the key
[Chorus]
Arlo, Arlo
Hold the line
Varrin, Varrin
Make it mine
Arlo, Arlo
Burning bright
Varrin, Varrin
Hold me right
[Verse 2]
Arlo threw a hammer
Made of moonlit heat
Spun it through the clash
Like a dare on repeat
He took the blow
Like it was a joke
While Varrin moved the blade
Like a master stroke
When the floor gave way
Arlo stayed upright
Called the weight to him
Made the whole room fight
Varrin saw that grin
Through the dust and clang
And he hated how that grin
Made his heartbeat bang
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, stay back
I said, come close
You held the steel
I held the ghost
[Chorus]
Arlo, Arlo
Hold the line
Varrin, Varrin
Make it mine
Arlo, Arlo
Burning bright
Varrin, Varrin
Hold me right
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
Gravity Anchor
Drop them low
Tie the night down
Don’t let go
Varrin at my shoulder
Steady as a vow
Arlo in the wreckage
Smiling somehow
And in the quiet
After all that smoke
You fixed his strap
He fixed your choke
No grand speech
Just a hand on the brace
Two fools at the edge
Of the same brave place
[Final Chorus]
Arlo, Arlo
Hold the line
Varrin, Varrin
Make it mine
Arlo, Arlo
Burning bright
Varrin, Varrin
Hold me right
Arlo, Arlo
Say my name
Varrin, Varrin
Stay the same
Arlo, Arlo
Close that door
Varrin, Varrin
I want more
