Borealis Ladder (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Frozen dawn, the city's wide awake

Lights cut through the snow-drifted ache

The old man's hand on the iron rail

Breathe it in and let the darkness fail

Every step up this stairway leads to

A place where time is measured by what we've freed

Pre-Chorus

Pull back, hold it high, pull the sky down

Feet don't touch the ground tonight

Chorus

Borealis ladder reaching for the sun

Every step you take is one that's won

You are climbing up to something true

Leave your weight behind and let it shine through

Hold the light and keep on moving up

Till nothing left but ash of all we ever knew

Verse

Grandmother told me stories, passed down slow

How the northern lights can turn a body whole

So I take every heavy thing and throw

It off my shoulders as I watch it rise above

The smoke from chimneys curls into the grey

Nothing here will hold you back today

You keep on climbing, higher still you go

Till nothing left to leave but all we made

Pre-Chorus

Pull back, hold it high, pull the sky down

Feet don't touch the ground tonight

Chorus

Borealis ladder reaching for the sun

Every step you take is one that's won

You are climbing up to something true

Leave your weight behind and let it shine through

Hold the light and keep on moving up

Till nothing left but ash of all we ever knew

Bridge

Don't look back at what was lost

Look only where this fire will come out

Every step a story told

Is one you get to take back home

Chorus

Borealis ladder reaching for the sun

Every step you take is one that's won

You are climbing up to something true

Leave your weight behind and let it shine through

Hold the light and keep on moving up

Till nothing left but ash of all we ever knew
