Pulse – Gilded Horizon

Verse

Frost on the window, your name on my breath

Ice cracks open where the river met

Torchlight carving shadows on the wall

Something ancient wakes up when you call

Drums in the distance, my ribs catch the beat

Bare feet on glacier, still I feel the heat

You move like the northern lights unfold

I was stone before, now I'm turning gold

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it rising through the frozen ground

Every vein a wire, every breath a sound

I was sleeping cold till you struck the spark

Chorus

This is my pulse, this is my pulse

Wild in my chest like a war drum's fault

Skin against sky, fire under frost

This is my pulse, and I'm already lost

Hands on the altar, heart on the floor

I never felt alive till you walked through that door

Every heartbeat screaming out your name

This is my pulse, burning in my veins

Verse

Runes on the table, candle burned low

You read my lifeline like you already know

Mountains behind us, storm out ahead

Still I'd walk barefoot on shattered glass instead

Wolves at the tree line, howling in tune

Your eyes hold the fire of a hunter's moon

I used to run from anything this loud

Now I'm on my knees inside your crowd

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it rising through the frozen ground

Every vein a wire, every breath a sound

I was sleeping cold till you struck the spark

Chorus

This is my pulse, this is my pulse

Wild in my chest like a war drum's fault

Skin against sky, fire under frost

This is my pulse, and I'm already lost

Hands on the altar, heart on the floor

I never felt alive till you walked through that door

Every heartbeat screaming out your name

This is my pulse, burning in my veins

Bridge

Break me open like the ice in spring

Let the current take everything

I don't need the shore anymore

I just need this current, I just need this war

Chorus

This is my pulse, this is my pulse

Wild in my chest like a war drum's fault

Skin against sky, fire under frost

This is my pulse, and I'm already lost

Hands on the altar, heart on the floor

I never felt alive till you walked through that door

Every heartbeat screaming out your name

This is my pulse, burning in my veins
