Intro
Check the coordinates. Twenty-five nations. One frequency. From the Atlantic waves to the Eastern plains. History written in the soil, future written in the code.
Verse 1
Start the engine in Berlin, yeah we never miss the mark "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit" lighting up the dark From the empire to the industry, steel is in the frame Europe’s engine running loud, put respect upon the name Switch the lane to Paris, fashion living in the veins "Liberté, égalité," breaking off the chains Revolutionary art, yeah the culture never fades It’s the heartbeat of the map, aces inside of the spades Cross the channel, London calling, see the shadow of the Crown "God save our gracious Queen," yeah we hold the castle down Language spanning oceans, got the lineage and pride Then we hit the Emerald Isle, keep the heritage inside "Éirinn go Brách," poets speaking to the soul Green fields, deep myths, yeah we never lose control
Pre-chorus
We trace the lines across the map (Across the map) Different flags but we bridge the gap (Bridge the gap) Old world roots with a new world pace Every single nation running in the race
Chorus
This is the continent, written in stone From the northern ice to the southern throne Twenty-five stories, hear the anthem rise We’re unlocking the code right before your eyes Yeah, we global with it, international flows Respect the history, watch how it grows
Verse 2
Touch down in Rome, civilization on the page "Fratelli d’Italia," stepping on the stage
Inside the recording
Check the coordinates. Twenty-five nations. One frequency.
We trace the lines across the map (Across the map) Different flags but we bridge the gap (Bridge the gap)
Touch down in Rome, civilization on the page "Fratelli d’Italia," stepping on the stage
