Lyrics

Intro

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Uh

Verse 1

Koga on the porch with the proxy on my back

Nekomata ears twitch when the night gets black

Waste on my left and GrimDeadEye on my right

Three of us carryin' the same heavy night

They ask me how I smile with a name carved deep

I said a lantern ain't a chain it's a light you keep

Chorus

I held my grief like a lantern low

Then I learned to let the lantern go

We celebrate the ones who had to leave

Sing it loud so the living believe

I held my grief like a lantern low

Then I learned to let the lantern go

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Let it go

Oh-oh-oh

Let it glow

Verse 2

Waste says her brother taught her how to pray

Grim says her sister danced the hurt away

We ain't mournin' in a corner with the curtains drawn

We are hollerin' their names until the break of dawn

Pour a little out and lift a little toast

Every soul that loved us is a holy ghost

Pre-Chorus

So I raised my hands instead of my guard

Traded every scar for a psalm and a card

Chorus

I held my grief like a lantern low

Then I learned to let the lantern go

We celebrate the ones who had to leave

Sing it loud so the living believe

I held my grief like a lantern low

Then I learned to let the lantern go

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Let it go

Oh-oh-oh

Let it glow

Bridge

Waste hold the west wind

Grim hold the east

Koga hold the whole night

We the ones who feast

We the ones who feast

Chorus

I held my grief like a lantern low

Then I learned to let the lantern go

We celebrate the ones who had to leave

Sing it loud so the living believe

I held my grief like a lantern low

Then I learned to let the lantern go

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Let it go

Oh-oh-oh

Let it glow
