Bones under the floorboards 2 (버전 2)

Verse

Dust on my collarbone, heat in the rafters high

Gatekeeper's hands counting off the final sigh

Ash-grey horizon and I know what it means

The fire's not done yet, watch the ash turn to steam

Pre-Chorus

Hold still, hold still, the dark turns to gold

Feel the weight of what we're leaving behind, let go

Chorus

Umlilo wamadlozi, burning under our feet

Bones in the floorboards and the fire won't retreat

Rise up, rise up, feel your own heartbeat now

Sunlight on the rafters, watch it take us somehow

Verse 2

Wood smoke hanging heavy over the open space

Your shoulder against mine, warm from the heat of the place

Every breath I breathe is an ember coming back to life

We're not leaving the darkness here, we're taking it all with tonight

Pre-Chorus

Hold still, hold still, the dark turns to gold

Feel the weight of what we're leaving behind, let go

Chorus

Umlilo wamadlozi, burning under our feet

Bones in the floorboards and the fire won't retreat

Rise up, rise up, feel your own heartbeat now

Sunlight on the rafters, watch it take us somehow

Bridge

No shadows left by the time we walk outside

Just two hands still warm from the ashes inside

Every step I take is a memory that's gone to dust

And here I'll carry you, even when it's just us

Chorus

Umlilo wamadlozi, burning under our feet

Bones in the floorboards and the fire won't retreat

Rise up, rise up, feel your own heartbeat now

Sunlight on the rafters, watch it take us somehow
