Gates of the Broken Dawn (Version 2)

Verse 1

Last light flickers through the smoke machine

Your hand still warm in mine, between the crowd's roar

Bass drops heavy, then it fades to blue

Silver sparks on your collarbone I adore

I don't know your name but the beat told me so

Every lyric hitting straight into my chest

I follow shadows where the laser light goes

Chasing something that won't settle, won't rest

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who you are when the speakers stop

Is it still a whisper or does it drop

I'm not running anymore, I'm right behind

This is everything and nothing left to find

Chorus

Gates of the broken dawn, gates of the broken dawn

Gold on your skin where the shadows turn

Hold my hand through the smoke like we own this town

Gates of the broken dawn, gates of the broken dawn

Verse 2

Your eyes cut straight through every strobe light flicker

Static and sugar in the air, I'm closer now

The bassline breaks but your voice keeps the measure

Somewhere past midnight is where we glow somehow

Bare shoulders, silver dust on your shirt collar

Sweat like a river running down to the floor

Every beat that's missing you make me whole, my lover

We are the fire no one knows how to ignore

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who you are when the speakers stop

Is it still a whisper or does it drop

I'm not running anymore, I'm right behind

This is everything and nothing left to find

Chorus

Gates of the broken dawn, gates of the broken dawn

Gold on your skin where the shadows turn

Hold my hand through the smoke like we own this town

Gates of the broken dawn, gates of the broken dawn

Bridge

If it ends now with this bass and the crowd

I want to feel you right here, out loud

No goodbyes when the last light fades

Just your pulse on mine in the black and the grey

Chorus

Gates of the broken dawn, gates of the broken dawn

Gold on your skin where the shadows turn

Hold my hand through the smoke like we own this town

Gates of the broken dawn, gates of the broken dawn
