[Intro] (A low, humming bass that vibrates the chest, followed by a soft, high-pitched chime) [Verse 1] I built a wall of stone and sound To keep my feet on solid ground Because the grace is a heavy tide With nowhere left for a man to hide I’m not the darkness, I’m the light Wrapped in the armor of the night [Chorus] It’s an angelic weight, a heavy love The G and the G, from far above The flood is coming, but the levee holds In the purple streaks and the gothic gold I’m staying true, just like I’m told [Verse 2] To my girls, don’t fear the roar It’s just the sound of a closing door Keeping the world and the scars away So we can live in the light of day My heart is pure, my heart is true This fortress was built for me and you [Bridge] (The music swells to a massive, beautiful peak—heavy but harmonious) The G... and the G... Safe inside... [Outro] Settle the peace. The flood is still. We are home. (Ends with a single, echoing piano note over a fading heavy drone)
