Lantern Through the Ash

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I swore I saw your shape in the fog

Between the pines where the pale ones kneel

Your name is a lantern I carry too far

Swinging low through the ash-colored field

Pre-Chorus

And every wound you left still sings

Every wound you left still sings

Chorus

I will not lay my sword down

I will not lay my sword down

For you I cross the ruined ground

I will not lay my sword down

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh oh-oh

Verse 2

The bell towers bend when you call

I drag my ribs up the stairwell of stone

Something enormous is breathing behind me

Something enormous is breathing alone

Pre-Chorus

But every scar you gave still glows

Every scar you gave still glows

Chorus

I will not lay my sword down

I will not lay my sword down

For you I cross the ruined ground

I will not lay my sword down

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh oh-oh

Bridge

Bleed for me slowly

Breathe for me slowly

Hold for me slowly

Home

Chorus

I will not lay my sword down

I will not lay my sword down

For you I cross the ruined ground

I will not lay my sword down

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh oh-oh

Chorus

I will not lay my sword down

I will not lay my sword down

For you I cross the ruined ground

I will not lay my sword down
