The Elements That Keep © ® Heavy metal

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I was taught the world was built from four

Simple things we thought we understood

Earth to hold me

Water to carry me down

Air to fill my lungs

And fire to burn it all away

Pre-Chorus

But the map was incomplete

Something older underneath

Something watching from the space between

Chorus

Earth, water, air, and fire

These are the four elements

That we know

But there is more

The cosmos and the void

These are the elements

That keep the others in check

Verse 2

I have counted stars until I wept

Measured silence where the angels slept

Fire fades

Water runs to nothing at the end

Air grows thin

And earth will fold beneath the weight

Pre-Chorus

Still the unseen holds the line

Keeps the burning worlds aligned

Nothing here was ever only ours

Chorus

Earth, water, air, and fire

These are the four elements

That we know

But there is more

The cosmos and the void

These are the elements

That keep the others in check

Bridge

Cold and endless

Quiet and endless

Dark and endless

Holding everything in place

Chorus

Earth, water, air, and fire

These are the four elements

That we know

But there is more

The cosmos and the void

These are the elements

That keep the others in check
