The Gilded Spire

[Intro]
[Verse]
Ash falls like grey snow
Tides rise in the low
I hold the iron rail
My breath is thin and frail
The world is sinking deep
While all the giants sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
The sky is choking on the dust
In every spark I place my trust
The ocean swallows up the shore
But I will give them something more
[Chorus]
Burn through the black
There is no turning back
I am the golden beam
The ending of the dream
Light up the broken wave
This is the life I save
I am the fire in the dark
The final living spark
[Verse]
The stone begins to crack
The sky is painted black
The salt is on my tongue
The final song is sung
The gears are grinding slow
But still the mirrors glow
[Pre-Chorus]
The silver water meets the sky
I watch the ancient cities die
The horizon is a jagged line
But still this light is mine
[Chorus]
Burn through the black
There is no turning back
I am the golden beam
The ending of the dream
Light up the broken wave
This is the life I save
I am the fire in the dark
The final living spark
[Bridge]
Let the tower fall
I will answer the call
Through the ash and the rain
I will bury the pain
Let the foundations break
For every soul awake
I will not go quiet
This is my holy riot
[Chorus]
Burn through the black
There is no turning back
I am the golden beam
The ending of the dream
Light up the broken wave
This is the life I save
I am the fire in the dark
The final living spark
[Post-Chorus]
Light the way home
Across the bitter foam
Light the way home
Until I am alone
Stay in the light
End the long night
[Outro]
