Chase the Light

Verse

Frost on the visor, blade in the snow

Twelve thousand stars where the northlights glow

Runes on my knuckles, steel in my chest

Engines humming where the glaciers rest

Shield wall breaking into silver dust

Voices calling out the ones I trust

Signal fires burning past the dark

One ember left to hold the spark

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it pulling at my ribs

Like the tide that never once forgives

Something in me refusing to let go

Chorus

I chase the light through the falling snow

Through the static, through the undertow

Hold this fire till my hands turn cold

I chase the light, won't let go of the hold

Every scar a map of how I've grown

Every star a place I've almost known

Nothing left but this and steady bones

I chase the light, I won't let go

Verse

Reactor hum where the longship sailed

Ancient hymns on a frequency pale

Compass spinning toward a frozen sun

Warriors marching till the day is done

Circuits glow like a funeral flame

Carved in metal, still I know your name

Ashes rising off the broken ground

Still the echo makes the same old sound

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it pulling at my ribs

Like the tide that never once forgives

Something in me refusing to let go

Chorus

I chase the light through the falling snow

Through the static, through the undertow

Hold this fire till my hands turn cold

I chase the light, won't let go of the hold

Every scar a map of how I've grown

Every star a place I've almost known

Nothing left but this and steady bones

I chase the light, I won't let go

Bridge

Maybe the fire was never the point

Maybe it's holding when the world's unjoined

Two hands open where the embers land

This is the war I finally understand

Chorus

I chase the light through the falling snow

Through the static, through the undertow

Hold this fire till my hands turn cold

I chase the light, won't let go of the hold

Every scar a map of how I've grown

Every star a place I've almost known

Nothing left but this and steady bones

I chase the light, I won't let go
