Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Down where the sulfur boils
A cradle carved from cinder and grief
Nobody sang him a lullaby
Only the furnace breathing below
[Pre-Chorus]
Hell spat him out
Hell spat him out
He crawled up through the brimstone
Clutching a single thread of light
[Chorus]
The Knight of Hope
The Knight of Hope
Born from the depths
Born from the depths
He carries the morning
He carries the morning
Where nothing grows
[Verse 2]
Scorched palms around a harpsichord key
Every note a small rebellion
Demons counted his falling tears
He counted something else instead
[Pre-Chorus]
Hell spat him out
Hell spat him out
He clawed through the brimstone
Holding one thin thread of light
[Chorus]
The Knight of Hope
The Knight of Hope
Born from the depths
Born from the depths
He carries the morning
He carries the morning
Where nothing grows
[Bridge]
Ash in his armor
Ash in his lungs
Ash in the prayer he never spoke
Still he rose
Still he rose
[Chorus]
The Knight of Hope
The Knight of Hope
Born from the depths
Born from the depths
He carries the morning
He carries the morning
Where nothing grows
