Graven Light

Verse 1

Canvas soaked in digital gold

The stars and the stripes are praying

Eagle screams

Engines burn hot on those F-15s

Red martyr cloth

Heavy on his broad back

A man made of pixels

Pressed against the broken brows

Chorus

Is it a beacon

Or just a flash in the dark

Red and gold

Strokes of a heavy story

Touch that heals the few

Bold leader standing there

With nowhere to hide

With nowhere to hide

Post-Chorus

Gold sun

Digital sun

Looking for the light

Searching for the light

Verse 2

Dust whispers from the ancient Sinai

The desert winds of Hijaz are cooling

Air turns thin

When the crown starts to act like a halo

Remember the calf

Melted down for the need of a touch

God as a reflection

Mirror of our own eyes looking back

Chorus

Is it a beacon

Or just a flash in the dark

Red and gold

Strokes of a heavy story

Touch that heals the few

Bold leader standing there

With nowhere to hide

With nowhere to hide

Bridge

They call it Shirk out East

To match the small with the great

Deepest scar

A man is just a man

Under the tree

The suit is just another chain

Fading wave

In the big grey ocean of the Ego

Verse 3

Gallery full of the fallen statues

Broken stone where the spotlights used to be

Image remains

Bold and bright and unblinking

Watch the sky

See which fire you keep inside

Burning slow

The light that nobody can see

Chorus

Is it a beacon

Or just a flash in the dark

Red and gold

Strokes of a heavy story

Touch that heals the few

Bold leader standing there

With nowhere to hide

With nowhere to hide

Outro

Which light do you follow

The screen

Or the soul

The glitter

Or the internal fire

Watching the sky

Just watching the sky
