Dust & Gold at Dawn (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Tin roof cooling as the last set spins

Gold light climbing over zinc and bins

Mine dust settled on the taxi rank

Old men's boots left prints along the bank

Someone's grandfather walked this road at four

Lantern swinging, humming to the ore

Now the speaker hums that same low sound

Dawn is breaking, bass still shaking ground

Pre-Chorus

Feel it lifting through the concrete

Feel it climbing up through my feet

Every shift they carried, every mile they made

Rising with the sun, refusing to fade

Chorus

Dust and gold at dawn, we're still standing

Dust and gold at dawn, hearts expanding

Feet still moving when the sky turns bright

Dust and gold at dawn, we made it through the night

Verse

Water tank glowing pink above the roof

Sweat and smoke, we got nothing left to prove

Every hand up catching first-light rays

Same horizon that they walked for days

Steam off the coffee cart, breath in the cold

Bones remember what the shafts were told

Now we dance it loose, we dance it free

Turning heavy history into gold and me

Pre-Chorus

Feel it lifting through the concrete

Feel it climbing up through my feet

Every shift they carried, every mile they made

Rising with the sun, refusing to fade

Chorus

Dust and gold at dawn, we're still standing

Dust and gold at dawn, hearts expanding

Feet still moving when the sky turns bright

Dust and gold at dawn, we made it through the night

Bridge

This is the hour they didn't get to keep

This gold that spills is louder than sleep

I'll dance it for the ones still underground

Let the light pay back what the dark took down

Chorus

Dust and gold at dawn, we're still standing

Dust and gold at dawn, hearts expanding

Feet still moving when the sky turns bright

Dust and gold at dawn, we made it through the night
