The Courtyard Keeps Your

Letra

[Verse 1] You draw a line across the courtyard stone A name the winter learned to fear I watch your shadow leave the old gate And keep the words I couldn’t hear [Pre-Chorus] The crest is burning in my memory Your footsteps fade beyond the pines [Chorus] Brother, where did the promise go? You turned your face and chose the road I carry both the wound and name Through ash and rain, I call you all the same [Verse 2] The paper lanterns lose their color The training yard is quiet now I count the cracks along the wall And try to understand the vow [Pre-Chorus] If every answer asks for silence Then let my silence break tonight [Chorus] Brother, where did the promise go? You turned your face and chose the road I carry both the wound and name Through ash and rain, I call you all the same [Bridge] When dawn comes down on empty rooftops When all the old alarms are gone Will you remember who stood beside you? Will you remember what we were? [Final Chorus] Brother, hear me across the miles Past every locked and guarded door I carry both the wound and name And still I hope you’ll turn once more [Outro] The courtyard keeps your footsteps The morning keeps your place
