Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Under a broken moon we regaled what was
I watched the swallows bloom into a cloud of dust
Oh brother come be my keeper, hold me dear
Don't let the wreckage call what the wreckage wants
Now let's just ride on highs while the moment is right
No, don't you fold my wings for the fear of flight
In your eyes
[Chorus]
You curled up gods while I pondered death
It feels like this war is our dawning
Don't let that light outrun us yet
It feels like this war is our dawning
Ah, waking up to find a forest
Summon your sight to get us now
Ah, breaching out, define me lawless
Summon the fight to get us out
[Verse 2]
When all the world rained down on our safety's hood
It left me lying out with a pale of blood
Oh brother come be my keeper, hold me dear
I'll let the winter start when I say I've stood for us
[Chorus]
You curled up gods while I pondered death
It feels like this war is our dawning
Don't let that light outrun us yet
It feels like this war is our dawning
Ah, waking up to find a forest
Summon your sight to get us now
Ah, breaching out, define me lawless
Summon the fight to get us out
[Bridge]
Forcing out a furnace
Find the reach and want it
Out in front I see a light
Forcing out a furnace
Find the reach and hold it
All it takes to be alive
[Chorus]
You curled up gods while I pondered death
It feels like this war is our dawning
Don't let that light outrun us yet
It feels like this war is our dawning
