Yeah! Uh.. [Vinyl scratching] [Verse 1 – HOPE] I hear tomorrow in the quiet rain A distant future beyond the fear and pain The sky is cracked but light comes pouring through The world still thrives in shades of something new I plant a seed in broken ground tonight A fragile dream still reaching for the light The road is long, but somewhere it will bend Toward open doors and strangers turned to friends [Pre-Chorus] Even in the longest night Something in the dark still shines [Chorus – HOPE vs DESPAIR] (Hope says) - “Hold the flame, don’t let it fade” (Despair says) - “Every fire becomes a grave” (Hope says) - “Morning waits beyond the storm” (Despair says) - “Nothing new is ever born” Two voices pulling at the thread of me One builds a bridge, one drags me to the sea Hold the flame! (Let it fade…) Morning comes! (Nothing remains…) [Verse 2 – DESPAIR] I hear the silence after every prayer The empty room that answers no one there The sky above is only endless gray A tired sun that slowly turns away I’ve seen the towers crumble into sand Promises dissolving in my hands Every road I walked has led to dust Every dream a rusting blade of rust [Pre-Chorus – dramatic build, choir + dual guitars rising] But even in the deepest grave Something in me wants to save [Breakdown – THE CLASH] Everything falls Everything dies Ash in the wind Truth in the lies Rise from the dust Break through the stone Life finds a way Seeds overthrown Nothing survives! Everything tries! WE ARE THE FIRE AND THE FLOOD INSIDE! [Final Chorus] (Hope says) - “Hold the flame, don’t let it fade” (Despair says) - “Every fire becomes a grave” (Hope says) - “Morning waits beyond the storm” (Despair says) - “Nothing new is ever born” But somewhere in the war beneath my skin The dawn and night are learning how to blend Hold the flame! (Let it fade…) Morning comes! (Nothing remains…) [Outro] Between the flame and the flood I stand A trembling heart in a burning land If hope is weak and despair is strong Then both have lived in me all along.
