Torch in the Dark (wersja 2)

Verse

Aftur sundlaug

he's waiting for the night to come alive

Sweat still wet on his shoulders from the warm steam rising above the pool

He steps out into the dark, a single flame flickering in his hand

Flickers slow across the courtyard where the ice is starting to form again

His breath makes a misty column that hangs suspended in mid-air

He doesn't need a word to know what's coming next

Pre-Chorus

Til the black sky turns to blue

Nothing left but this one thing true

Chorus

Hold me steady like a firebrand

Keep me burning through the dark and cold land

Verse

Sweat turning frost along his cheekbone

He's been waiting for this moment all day long

His fingers find the curve of her collarbone, the way she leans against him

The flickering flame casts shadows on the walls, dancing like a wild animal free

She lets out a slow low breath that he catches and holds as one

Together they move through the night until it's gone

Pre-Chorus

Til the black sky turns to blue

Nothing left but this one thing true

Chorus

Hold me steady like a firebrand

Keep me burning through the dark and cold land

Bridge

No need for light or warmth

Just the two of them, a single flame, nothing more

Outro

Til the black sky turns to blue

Nothing left but this one thing true
