Let the Morning Stay

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Orders fold in a paper room Red pins crawl across the map A young hand grips a borrowed uniform And wonders who will answer back [Pre-Chorus] The room goes quiet The clock won't lie One word can open A thousand graves tonight [Chorus] No fire in our name No child beneath the flame Turn the convoy home Before the sky is changed No crown, no flag, no claim Is worth a family’s pain Put down the match And let the morning stay [Verse 2] A mother keeps the porch light on A brother counts the empty chair Inside the bunker, somebody says There’s still a choice in there [Pre-Chorus] The room goes quiet The clock won't lie One word can open A thousand graves tonight [Chorus] No fire in our name No child beneath the flame Turn the convoy home Before the sky is changed No crown, no flag, no claim Is worth a family’s pain Put down the match And let the morning stay [Bridge] If power means anything Let it stop the hand If courage means anything Let it choose the land Where every door can open Where every bell can ring Where no one calls destruction A victory [Final Chorus] No fire in our name No child beneath the flame Turn the convoy home Before the sky is changed No crown, no flag, no claim Is worth a family’s pain Put down the match And let the morning stay [Outro] Let the morning stay Let the morning stay
