Fires in the dark (version 2)

Verse

Ash on my shoulders like the ones before

Every time we lose ourselves to the floor

We chase the shadows, watch them run away

In this endless dance where dawn will never stay

I keep my eyes open through the burning red

Count the bodies moving round our head

No one's holding hands but we all hold tight

This is what we're made of in this dark light

Pre-Chorus

Can you see it coming off the walls?

Rust in your veins, nothing holds us still

Chorus

Fires in the dark and smoke on our skin

We keep moving till we burn the day within

Every shadow turns to something new

Fire in the dark and fire is all that's true

Fires in the dark and smoke on our skin

Ritual burning every single time

Let it carry us into what comes next

Verse

Concrete floor beneath, steel above my chest

Every scream is swallowed by the noise we make

We leave no names but only light behind

The city's screaming and we're running out of time

In a hundred years someone will be here too

Feet on the same ground where I used to move through

Their eyes will lock onto your face in this haze

And they'll keep dancing till the ashes turn gray

Pre-Chorus

Can you see it coming off the walls?

Rust in your veins, nothing holds us still

Chorus

Fires in the dark and smoke on our skin

We keep moving till we burn the day within

Every shadow turns to something new

Fire in the dark and fire is all that's true

Fires in the dark and smoke on our skin

Ritual burning every single time

Let it carry us into what comes next

Bridge

Drop your weight onto the ground below

No one knows tomorrow, let it go

I won't be here when daylight breaks through

And you still moving where I moved before too

Chorus

Fires in the dark and smoke on our skin

We keep moving till we burn the day within

Every shadow turns to something new

Fire in the dark and fire is all that's true

Fires in the dark and smoke on our skin

Ritual burning every single time

Let it carry us into what comes next
