Carry the Flame - Celestial Drift

Intro - Instrumental

Verse 1

Frost on the mountain stone

Wind that never rests

I climbed past the pale light

Found a mark upon my chest

Came for a lost name

Left with a burning vow

The world below keeps turning

But I'm climbing higher now

Pre-Chorus

And the gates are calling

And the cold is falling

Chorus

Carry the flame through the frozen sky

Hold to the word when the north winds cry

From the deep cave to the highest throne

I walk the slow road alone

Carry the flame

Carry the flame

Verse 2

Old songs whisper in the hall

Shadows keep their watch

Every step the mountain thralls

I take what the storm will not

Runes on a broken wall

Spell out the end of days

I carry what they all let fall

And turn my face to the blaze

Pre-Chorus

And the gates are calling

And the cold is falling

Chorus

Carry the flame through the frozen sky

Hold to the word when the north winds cry

From the deep cave to the highest throne

I walk the slow road alone

Carry the flame

Carry the flame

Bridge

Let the ash be my witness

Let the snow learn my name

Every war and every silence

Leads me back the same

Chorus

Carry the flame through the frozen sky

Hold to the word when the north winds cry

From the deep cave to the highest throne

I walk the slow road alone

Carry the flame

Carry the flame
