The Last Beacon

[Intro]
[Verse]
Salt-crusted cloak against my skin
The ancient world is wearing thin
My boots are heavy on the ledge
Standing on the water's edge
I hear the ghosts of history
Calling from the rising sea
[Pre-Chorus]
The stone begins to crack
There is no turning back
The sub-bass starts to moan
I’m standing here alone
[Chorus]
Keep the light burning bright
Through the middle of the night
Every soul will find their way
Before the world turns into grey
I’ll be the fire in the flood
It’s written in my blood
[Verse]
Distant lightning hits the sea
The thunder calls out to me
Half-submerged and sinking fast
This moment has to be the last
Outstretched hands in the dark
Searching for a single spark
[Pre-Chorus]
The stone begins to crack
There is no turning back
The sub-bass starts to moan
I’m standing here alone
[Chorus]
Keep the light burning bright
Through the middle of the night
Every soul will find their way
Before the world turns into grey
I’ll be the fire in the flood
It’s written in my blood
[Bridge]
Let the mountain turn to dust
In the light we put our trust
I will scream into the gale
Until the shadows start to fail
Break the chains of the tide
Nowhere left for death to hide
I am the keeper of the flame
They will remember my name
[Verse]
The lighthouse tower starts to lean
The cruelest storm I’ve ever seen
But I will hold the iron wheel
With a heart of tempered steel
Beneath the surge of blackest ink
I refuse to let them sink
[Chorus]
Keep the light burning bright
Through the middle of the night
Every soul will find their way
Before the world turns into grey
I’ll be the fire in the flood
It’s written in my blood
[Post-Chorus]
Home, I’ll bring you home
Across the white and bitter foam
Home, I’ll bring you home
Where the wild spirits roam
[Outro]
