Burning the Map (Version 2)

Verse

Ice on the fjord, I'm walking light

No names to hold me back tonight

Grandfathers' fire still burning low

Something in my chest won't let it go

Raven's shadow where the current runs

Carry the weight that was left undone

Pre-Chorus

I feel the pulse of the frozen sea

Pulling every chain I'm meant to be free

Is this the tide that brings me back?

Or is it something deeper than fact

Chorus

Burning the map, burning the map

Where the fire's lit where the current maps

No line left behind that holds us down

Burning the map we made of what we found

Verse 2

Grandmother's ashes in a woven sack

Every name I knew is written black

Wind and ice pull every last breath

Something old inside me stirs to life again

Snowflakes swirling like they're dancing with me

Carry my kin across the sea

Pre-Chorus

I feel the pulse of the frozen sea

Pulling every chain I'm meant to be free

Is this the tide that brings me back?

Or is it something deeper than fact

Chorus

Burning the map, burning the map

Where the fire's lit where the current maps

No line left behind that holds us down

Burning the map we made of what we found

Bridge

Maybe this isn't the end of it all

Maybe this is where I start to stand tall

Outro

I'm a shadow on the burning ice

Carrying fire, carrying me, leaving nothing but what's free
