As we embrace the final dawn
The rain upon our face, tells of sullen times
Wash away the tears, ring the death knell
Enamored by it’s chime
I’ve seen it inside their eyes
It was carried in their mother’s arms
To nurture a fire soon to burn — on and on
The virulence before the storm, there are secrets to be born
Can you feel their heavy hearts?
Like anchors of sinking ships
As we embrace the final dawn
The rain upon our face, tells of sullen times
Wash away the tears, ring the death knell
Enamored by it’s chime
I’ve seen it inside their eyes
It was carried in their mother’s arms
To nurture a fire soon to burn — on and on
This bounding main — A silence left to comfort
These wind-capped waves — Torn seafaring hearts
Until we reach the shore, can you hold this close to yours?
This burden, the dark
Under the weight of the world
We’ve come this far
Guided by vagrant stars
When all warmth fades, cold the garden of night
By lantern’s shine, we brave this search of light
Until we reach the shore, can you hold this close to yours?
This burden, the dark
Under the weight of the world
The bridge, the flame that follows me until the end
Haunted, our path, they’ll know our name at last
Until we reach the shore, can you hold this close to yours?
This burden, the dark
Under the weight of the world
