The Last Watch

[Intro]
[Verse]
Salt on my skin
Where do I begin?
Forty years on this rock
Waiting for your knock
The lantern is low
But the embers still glow
I watch the black tide
With nowhere to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
The wind starts to howl
Beneath a dark scowl
I turn the heavy wheel
Cold as the steel
I see a faint spark
Cutting the dark
[Chorus]
Burn through the night
Be my holy light
The ocean is wide
But I’m on your side
Bring the ship home
Through the white foam
I’m calling your name
In the flickering flame
[Post-Chorus]
Carry the weight
Challenge the fate
I’m standing right here
Until you appear
[Verse]
Hands rough and torn
Waiting for the morn
I remember your face
In this lonely place
The canvas is ripped
And the anchor has slipped
But I won't let go
Of the brother I know
[Pre-Chorus]
The thunder is loud
Inside every cloud
The brass starts to ring
Hear the sirens sing
The horizon is near
I conquer my fear
[Chorus]
Burn through the night
Be my holy light
The ocean is wide
But I’m on your side
Bring the ship home
Through the white foam
I’m calling your name
In the flickering flame
[Bridge]
The sun breaks the gray
To start a new day
The clouds pull apart
Like the beat of my heart
I see the gold hull
And the cry of a gull
The sails are all torn
But the promise is born
[Hook]
Home at last
The storm has passed
Home at last
The anchor is cast
[Chorus]
Burn through the night
Be my holy light
The ocean is wide
But I’m on your side
Bring the ship home
Through the white foam
I’m calling your name
In the flickering flame
[Post-Chorus]
Finally here
No more to fear
Salt and the stone
You're finally home
Finally here
The water is clear
[Outro]
