The Last White Pulse

[Intro]
[Verse]
Frost on the iron rail
The sky is turning pale
The ancient ice gives way
To end the light of day
I hear the valley groan
I face the dark alone
White salt upon my skin
Let the great flood begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Sub-bass begins to hum
I hear the taiko drum
The French horns start to wail
Inside this stone-built jail
But I will not turn back
Across the frozen track
[Chorus]
Burn bright, little spark
Cut a hole in the dark
Let the flood waters rise
Underneath hollow skies
I will stay till the end
I’m the light’s only friend
Through the froth and the foam
I will guide you all home
[Post-Chorus]
I am the beam
In a broken dream
I am the light
In the middle of the night
[Verse]
Tiny rafts in the swell
Escaping from this hell
The tack piano rings
While the cold water sings
I see your weeping eyes
Underneath drowning skies
My wick is burning low
But I can’t let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the tower shake
How much more can it take?
The glaciers scream out loud
Beneath a heavy cloud
I hold the lever tight
To save a soul tonight
[Chorus]
Burn bright, little spark
Cut a hole in the dark
Let the flood waters rise
Underneath hollow skies
I will stay till the end
I’m the light’s only friend
Through the froth and the foam
I will guide you all home
[Bridge]
BREAKING!
SHATTERING!
THE MOUNTAINS ARE FALLING!
THE DEEP IS CALLING!
I AM THE ROCK!
I AM THE LOCK!
TAKE MY BREATH!
TAKE MY DEATH!
BUT LEAVE THE LIGHT!
STAY IN SIGHT!
I AM THE FIRE IN THE RAIN!
I AM THE END OF THE PAIN!
[Chorus]
Burn bright, little spark
Cut a hole in the dark
Let the flood waters rise
Underneath hollow skies
I will stay till the end
I’m the light’s only friend
Through the froth and the foam
I will guide you all home
[Post-Chorus]
I am the beam
In a broken dream
I am the light
In the middle of the night
[Outro]
