The Breath Inside the Stone

เนื้อเพลง

[Intro] [Verse 1] At the edge of the old stone square A clock keeps time with an iron stare You hold the map with a trembling hand I hear the gates beneath the land [Pre-Chorus] Count every arch, count every flame The walls remember every name You take one step; the hinges cry And all the painted saints look by [Chorus] Raise the doors, let the whole hall answer Turn the key where the cold bells ring We are not the ghosts they gathered We are the breath inside the stone Raise the doors, let the whole hall answer Break the seal and let us through Every locked room keeps a promise Every promise leads to you [Verse 2] A red thread winds around the stair Past cracked blue tiles and empty chairs You find a note beneath the frame It bears your hand, it bears your name [Pre-Chorus] Count every arch, count every flame The walls remember every name You take one step; the hinges cry And all the painted saints look by [Chorus] Raise the doors, let the whole hall answer Turn the key where the cold bells ring We are not the ghosts they gathered We are the breath inside the stone Raise the doors, let the whole hall answer Break the seal and let us through Every locked room keeps a promise Every promise leads to you [Bridge] If the floor gives way, keep hold of me If the lamps go out, we’ll learn to see No crown, no curse, no borrowed throne Can tell a heart it isn’t home [Final Chorus] Raise the doors, let the whole hall answer Turn the key where the cold bells ring We are not the ghosts they gathered We are the breath inside the stone Raise the doors, let the whole hall answer Break the seal and let us through Every locked room keeps a promise Every promise leads to you [Outro] You hold the map; I take your hand The gates fall quiet. We understand.
