We walked through fire, we crossed the rain
We watched the world repeat its pain
We drew the lines, we chose our sides
And built our walls from fear and pride
We heard the children asking why
While smoke was rising through the sky
And after everything we've done
We're still beneath the same old sun
If this is where the ending starts
Then let it start inside our hearts
Raise your voice into the light
Let it break the endless night
We are more than what we've lost
More than every line we've crossed
Take my hand and stand with me
No more walls between you and me
After all the tears we've known
We don't have to stand alone
This is our ode to joy
No flag can tell us who to hate
No ancient wound decides our fate
No throne, no border, no decree
Can make a stranger less than me
We cannot change the blood we've spilled
Or bring back every dream we've killed
But while tomorrow still can come
The song we're singing isn't done
Let every bell across the earth
Ring out for what a life is worth
Raise your voice into the light
Let it break the endless night
We are more than what we've lost
More than every line we've crossed
Take my hand and stand with me
No more walls between you and me
After all the tears we've known
We don't have to stand alone
This is our ode to joy
What will we leave behind
For those who come after us?
Another field of broken stones?
Another reason not to trust?
Or can we leave a different world
Than the one that we were given?
Not a promise made in heaven
But a choice we make while living
One voice
Then another
Stranger
Sister
Brother
One heart
Then another
We are still here
We are still here
Raise your voice into the light
Let a million voices rise
From the ashes, from the scars
We will carry who we are
Take my hand and stand with me
There is still a world to see
After every war we've known
We will never stand alone
Let the old world hear the sound
Let the walls come crashing down
Not because the past is gone
But because we carry on
Raise your voice
Raise it higher
Through the darkness
Through the fire
We are here
We are alive
This is our ode to joy
After the storm
After the road
After the judgment
After it all
We choose each other
We choose tomorrow
This is our ode to joy

KNOX CLASSICS: Sacred Noise
A classical arrangement album by KNOX, an AI virtual rock band.
Bach. Vivaldi. Wagner. Dvorak. Mussorgsky. Verdi. Massenet. Beethoven. Eight themes left behind by eight composers across three centuries, translated into the language of a five-piece rock band. Every source work is in the public domain. Every lyric is original.
It started with a single note the pipe organ breaking the silence. When Bach's toccata was moved onto a distorted guitar, it became clear this could work. What followed was the summer storm, the ride across the battlefield, the demons on bald mountain, the wrath of judgment day, the stillness of meditation. Scenes the originals already carried, rebuilt over drums and overdrive.
This is not classical music quoted. Only the themes were taken; everything else was filled back in with the sound of a band. Counterpoint became riffs. Orchestral mass became layers of guitar. A chorus of hundreds became a single voice. Something was lost. Something else was gained.
The album closes with Beethoven's Ninth the ode to joy. The silence broken in the first track arrives here, eight songs later. After the storm. After the road. After the judgment.
