Dust, Gold and Dawn (версия 2)

Verse

Mine dust settled in my father's palm

Gold he dug but never got to hold

Concrete towers built on hollow ground

Echoes of the shaft still turning round

I press my hand flat on the floor tonight

Feel the shimmer rising, feel it catching light

This city's veins run yellow underneath

My feet keep digging what the drum releases

Pre-Chorus

Something buried wants to breathe

Something golden wants to leave

Rises up through calf and knee

Dust becomes the light in me

Chorus

Dust, gold and dawn

Moving through my bones till the night is gone

Dust, gold and dawn

What they buried deep, I carry on

Verse

Headlamps flicker in an old man's eyes

Passed down stories, passed down sighs

Now the bassline digs where the shovels stopped

My hips remember every drop

Skyline glowing like a seam of ore

Every step of mine unlocks a door

Sweat runs gold along my collarbone

This ground was never empty, never alone

Pre-Chorus

Something buried wants to breathe

Something golden wants to leave

Rises up through calf and knee

Dust becomes the light in me

Chorus

Dust, gold and dawn

Moving through my bones till the night is gone

Dust, gold and dawn

What they buried deep, I carry on

Bridge

I am the shaft and I am the flame

I am the hand that still knows his name

Every grain of dust is a heartbeat spent

Turned to light through the way I dance and bend

Chorus

Dust, gold and dawn

Moving through my bones till the night is gone

Dust, gold and dawn

What they buried deep, I carry on
