Transmission Lost Video (MV)

[Verse 1]
Static on the line, can't get through
Dead signal's screaming, what can I do?
Twenty kids looking up at me
While my heart pounds violently and wild and free
Newark's burning across the bay
All our certainties stripped away

[Chorus]
The lines are down, but we keep on trying
Through the chaos, souls are flying
Can you hear me? (Can you hear me?)
Are you there? (Are you there?)
When the world stops turning
We're still yearning
For a voice, for a prayer

[Verse 2]
Metal receiver cold in my hand
Dialing numbers, none understand
Each ring echoes like a cry
Through the static-filled September sky
Children's faces turned to me
For answers I just couldn't see

[Bridge]
Fado whispers through the halls
Ancient strength when darkness falls
Breaking points and broken calls
But we rise above it all

[Verse 3]
Thompson taught me long ago
When the rhythm starts to go
Hold the baseline, keep it strong
Even when the world goes wrong
Now I'm teaching them to stay
As our world slips away

[Chorus]
The lines are down, but we keep on trying
Through the chaos, souls are flying
Can you hear me? (Can you hear me?)
Are you there? (Are you there?)
When the world stops turning
We're still yearning
For a voice, for a prayer

[Outro]
Static fades to silence now
But we're standing anyhow
Through the terror, through the night
Till connection brings the light
