Beneath the Gold Vein (version 3)

Verse 1

Rooftop steel and the city below

Grey sky turns gold as it goes down

Chain store windows turn into glass and stone

Gold dust falls slow where the streetlights glow

I see your face behind every shadow cast

City forgets me but you remember the past

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long can we stay on this hill?

Keep burning bright till the gold runs still

Chorus

We're standing beneath the gold vein

Every light in the city's mine, yours and mine

Feet don't leave till the sun comes up high again

Beneath the gold vein, hold my hand till it climbs

Nothing below can touch this kind of light we made tonight

We're dancing on a hill that turns to gold every time

Verse 2

Rooftop steel and a hundred more lights

Every heartbeat's a torch that won't go out tonight

You laugh so loud I hear the whole sky ignite

Street below is cold but here it's warm enough to fight

We built an empire out of broken glass and light

Nothing in this city can tell us what's right

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long can we stay on this hill?

Keep burning bright till the gold runs still

Chorus

We're standing beneath the gold vein

Every light in the city's mine, yours and mine

Feet don't leave till the sun comes up high again

Beneath the gold vein, hold my hand till it climbs

Nothing below can touch this kind of light we made tonight

We're dancing on a hill that turns to gold every time

Bridge

Maybe the whole world's just one big flame

And we're the ones who carry our own name

No map can tell us where this ends or starts

This is what it means to be alive, this is us from afar

Chorus

We're standing beneath the gold vein

Every light in the city's mine, yours and mine

Feet don't leave till the sun comes up high again

Beneath the gold vein, hold my hand till it climbs

Nothing below can touch this kind of light we made tonight

We're dancing on a hill that turns to gold every time
