[Intro]
Sirens in the distance
Drums under the ground
Tell me what can scare us
When the whole crowd makes a sound

[Verse]
Blue light spinning on the avenue bend
News van waiting for the trouble to trend
Barricade shaking in the summer heat
But the drummer kept faith with the people’s feet
Somebody said run, somebody said stay
Somebody put a child on a shoulder away
I grabbed the mic and I faced the glare
Said breathe with me, everybody breathe this air

[Pre-Chorus]
They got volume, we got soul
They got sirens, we got whole
They got pressure, we got fire
Let the people lift it higher

[Chorus]
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder
Than a crowd that knows its name
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder
Than the truth inside the flame
When the fear rolls in
And the night grows colder
We rise together
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder

[Verse]
They want a panic they can frame real tight
A broken window in a perfect light
They want the story where the people lose
And the anchor smiles through the evening news
But the aunties in front started clapping slow
Then the brass came in with a mighty blow
The bass hit hard and the choir replied
And the fear got smaller when the crowd unified

[Pre-Chorus]
They got volume, we got soul
They got sirens, we got whole
They got pressure, we got fire
Let the people lift it higher

[Chorus]
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder
Than a crowd that knows its name
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder
Than the truth inside the flame
When the fear rolls in
And the night grows colder
We rise together
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder

[Instrumental]
Brass screams high like warning lights
Drums roll deep through the open night
DJ cuts siren into snare
Crowd keeps chanting through the air

[Bridge]
Fear is loud but love is wide
Smoke can drift but cannot hide
A thousand throats in common time
Can turn a threat into a rhyme

[Breakdown]
Breathe in
Breathe out
Stand firm
Sing loud
Breathe in
Breathe out
No fear
Sing loud

[Build-up]
They can flash those lights
They can ring those bells
But the people know stories
That the siren never tells
Raise it from the left
Raise it from the right
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder tonight

[Chorus]
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder
Than a crowd that knows its name
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder
Than the truth inside the flame
When the fear rolls in
And the night grows colder
We rise together
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder

[Chorus]
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder
Than a crowd that knows its name
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder
Than the truth inside the flame
When the fear rolls in
And the night grows colder
We rise together
Sirens Cannot Sing Louder

[Outro]
Sirens fade back down the road
Drums still carry what we know
Under every flashing light
The people kept the song alive
