The Burning (النسخة 2)

Verse

Black water swells beneath my feet

Salt and smoke on the cold air

Every spark I let go tonight

Rises straight into the dark above there

I've been carrying this for far too long

Nowhere left to hold onto it now

The ship is breaking but we're not alone

We're just a flame that no one ever put out

So here's to letting go of every chain

Here's to dancing till the ice dissolves in rain

Here's to burning all the words we'll never say

And turning every ash into a ray of light today

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the current pull us free?

Feel the timber crack and let it go with me.

No more anchors left to keep us down.

Watch it rise, watch it spread across the town.

Nothing left but heat behind our eyes.

Let's make this fire never lose its spark in time

Chorus

We're turning every shadow into flame tonight

Burning brighter than the darkest of the night

Rise up! Rise up till we reach the light!

No walls to hold us, no chains to fight against!

No matter how hard it feels like falling free

This is how we learn to burn so wild and wide.

Ashes rising off a broken deck tonight

Verse

Smokestacks crumbling in the freezing wind

Saltwater washing all of this away

Every weight I wore just sank beneath the floorline

Nothing heavy left that I have to carry home.

I was trapped in ice but now my blood runs like rain

Nowhere left for fear to find a hold again.

I used to be a ship with every anchor tied tight

Tonight we're embers turning into gold tonight

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the current pull us free?

Feel the timber crack and let it go with me.

No more anchors left to keep us down.

Watch it rise, watch it spread across the town.

Nothing left but heat behind our eyes.

Let's make this fire never lose its spark in time

Chorus

We're turning every shadow into flame tonight

Burning brighter than the darkest of the night

Rise up! Rise up till we reach the light!

No walls to hold us, no chains to fight against!

No matter how hard it feels like falling free

This is how we learn to burn so wild and wide.

Ashes rising off a broken deck tonight

Bridge

What if I told you that this whole thing was just the start?

What if every crack and every tear actually breaks us open rather than apart?

Maybe what we've been fighting for was right inside of me this entire time.

We don't need a war to find our own kind of strength.

It's just a match, it's just one spark that turns everything.

Nothing's ever lost if it gets lit up like this instead.

So let it rise and never turn back down again.

This is what we were born for. This is the sound it makes when two hearts start turning into flame tonight.

No more holding onto anything but love, no matter how much it weighs.

I used to think that broken was forever.

Now I'm the light at the center of this storm we call forever

Chorus

We're turning every shadow into flame tonight

Burning brighter than the darkest of the night

Rise up! Rise up till we reach the light!

No walls to hold us, no chains to fight against!
