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
