Carry the Flame

Verse 1

Cold

Iron gates

Frost on the heavy latch

My fingers turn to stone while I pull

Silence

Heavy silence

I built this wall with bricks of grief

Now I stand alone on the frozen field

Chorus

Carry the flame

Carry the flame

I will walk through the ashes

Beyond the pain

I will carry the flame

Through the hollow night

Until the morning arrives

Until the morning arrives

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Carry on

Oh oh

Verse 2

Dust

Grey and thin

Settling on the empty chair

I scrub the floor until my knuckles bleed

Gone

Truly gone

No more ghosts in the hallway

No more shadows hiding under the rug

Clean

Breath in

Chorus

Carry the flame

Carry the flame

I will walk through the ashes

Beyond the pain

I will carry the flame

Through the hollow night

Until the morning arrives

Until the morning arrives

Bridge

The mountain is steep

The river is wide

The valley is deep

I won't look back

I won't turn back

I won't fall back

Setting fire to the past to find my way

Setting fire to the guilt to find my way

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Carry the flame

Carry the flame

I will walk through the ashes

Beyond the pain

I will carry the flame

Through the hollow night

Until the morning arrives

Until the morning arrives

Post-Chorus

Carry on

Oh oh

Carry on

Oh oh

Outro

One step

One more

The sun is rising over the ridge

Walking away

Walking away

Finally free
