Burn

Verse 1

Silver temple on the hollow hill

My memory is a burned-out wheel

I trace the names the wind forgot

Every door I knock turns to stone

Chorus

Ancient light in my hands

Ancient light in my hands

Hold it till it understands

Oh-oh

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

Mothers sing in a tongue I lost

My shadow walks where rivers cross

Dig the iron from the failing well

Drink the past till the present fell

Chorus

Ancient light in my hands

Ancient light in my hands

Hold it till it understands

Oh-oh

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Bridge

Fields of clay and burning grass

The drum that calls is made of glass

Wake the song the silence kept

Halfway found and half unkempt

Chorus

Ancient light in my hands

Ancient light in my hands

Hold it till it understands

Oh-oh

Outro

Ancient light

Ancient light
