Lyrics
Drop
Gongs in the mist
Gongs in the mist
Verse 1
Sailors turned their boats around
When the bronze began to hum
Something old beneath the town
Waited patient for someone
Priests carved names in temple stone
Left their offerings in the rain
Every doorway stands alone
Holding centuries of pain
Pre-Chorus
And the smoke rose slow
Where the rivers go
Chorus
Meridian calls
Meridian keeps
Every soul it finds
Every oath it holds
Meridian calls
Meridian keeps
The island remembers
Long after you leave
Drop
Gongs in the mist
Gongs in the mist
Verse 2
Farmers sowed the northern fields
Watched the shadows start to lean
Traded harvests made of steel
For a whisper from the queen
Pilgrims came and pilgrims stayed
Pilgrims never found the shore
Golden towers slowly fade
Who remembers anymore
Pre-Chorus
And the tide runs cold
Where the stories fold
Chorus
Meridian calls
Meridian keeps
Every soul it finds
Every oath it holds
Meridian calls
Meridian keeps
The island remembers
Long after you leave
Bridge
Rise up
Fall down
Rise up
We were here before the crown
Rise up
Fall down
Rise up
The island wears us like a gown
Chorus
Meridian calls
Meridian keeps
Every soul it finds
Every oath it holds
Meridian calls
Meridian keeps
The island remembers
Long after you leave
Drop
Gongs in the mist
Gongs in the mist
