[Intro]
Across the red iron plain
A signal fades through smoke
[Verse 1]
Steel rain fell on Iacon
Ash covered every gate
You stood beside the broken line
And told us not to yield our fate
The towers shook, the engines screamed
The sky was split in two
Every soldier found a reason
When the reason stood with you
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the All Spark called your name
And the battlefield went still
You gave your fire to Cybertron
With a leader’s final will
[Chorus]
Optimus, rise in the circuit of dawn
Your banner survives though your armor is gone
Through Autobots marching where red horizons burn
We carry your courage, we carry your word
Optimus, sleep where the All Spark shines
Your heart became a home in the heart of the sky
The war may be over, but we won’t forget
The warrior who gave us tomorrow instead
[Verse 2]
Decepticons crossed the valley
Like thunder made of blades
You held the bridge through falling stone
While evacuation trains escaped
No crown was forged from victory
No throne was built from pride
You chose the ones who couldn’t run
And kept the weakest by your side
[Pre-Chorus]
When the final armor broke
You looked beyond the flames
Not for glory, not for vengeance
Just a world that knew its name
[Chorus]
Optimus, rise in the circuit of dawn
Your banner survives though your armor is gone
Through Autobots marching where red horizons burn
We carry your courage, we carry your word
Optimus, sleep where the All Spark shines
Your heart became a home in the heart of the sky
The war may be over, but we won’t forget
The warrior who gave us tomorrow instead
[Bridge]
If the steel begins to tremble
If the old fear floods the streets
We will stand beneath your symbol
With the spark you left in me
No commander, no surrender
No more brothers turned to dust
From the ruins of our planet
We rebuild because we must
[Final Chorus]
Optimus, rise in the circuit of dawn
Your banner survives though your armor is gone
Through Autobots marching beneath brighter suns
We honor the battle, the fallen, the ones
Optimus, sleep where the All Spark shines
Your heart became a home in the heart of the sky
The war may be over, but your vow still burns
Cybertron remembers, and the future turns
[Outro]
Across the red iron plain
Your signal guides us home
Optimus, your spark remains
We are not alone
