Keep It Alive

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Woke up on a wire

The smoke was climbing slow

Half the roof is missing now

But I refuse to go

Pale machines are humming

Somewhere beneath the ground

I press my ear against the wall

And I can hear the sound

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep it alive

Keep it breathing

Keep it beating in the dark

[Chorus]

Hold the spark inside your hands

Hold it

Hold it

Bury nothing in the sand

Keep it

Keep it

When the whole horizon folds

I will carry what I hold

Keep it alive

[Post-Chorus]

Alive alive

Oh-oh-oh

Alive alive

[Verse 2]

Steel and salt and sorrow

Rattle through my chest

I built a small cathedral

Where the fire could rest

Torn between the thunder

And a quiet violins

I will not hand over

What the morning brings

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep it alive

Keep it breathing

Keep it beating in the dark

[Chorus]

Hold the spark inside your hands

Hold it

Hold it

Bury nothing in the sand

Keep it

Keep it

When the whole horizon folds

I will carry what I hold

Keep it alive

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Slow down

Slow down

Let the low strings moan

I have torn my hands on every stone

I have called this ruin home

[Breakdown]

Burn the map

Burn the plan

Break the lock

I am still a man

Still a man

[Chorus]

Hold the spark inside your hands

Hold it

Hold it

Bury nothing in the sand

Keep it

Keep it

When the whole horizon folds

I will carry what I hold

Keep it alive

[Outro]

Keep it alive

Keep it alive

(Alive)

Keep it alive
