[Verse 1] On a marble stair in the rain You left your ring in my hand Gold on the heel of the dawn And I still don’t understand I heard the old room turn Like a clock in a storm Every candle bowed down low When you said, “I was born for more” [Pre-Chorus] And the violins climb Like smoke up the wall My pulse is a hammer I’m ready to fall [Chorus] Ivory thunder, take me higher Ivory thunder, set me on fire Say my name Then pull me through Ivory thunder, I’m coming for you [Verse 2] Got dust on the fretboard And mud on my boots I been walking that long road For the truth in my roots You had a wolf in your smile And a storm in your dress Now the night’s got your shadow Pressed right to my chest [Pre-Chorus] And the violins climb Like smoke up the wall My pulse is a hammer I’m ready to fall [Chorus] Ivory thunder, take me higher Ivory thunder, set me on fire Say my name Then pull me through Ivory thunder, I’m coming for you [Bridge] [Acoustic drop] In the hush of the hall I heard your footsteps fade But the moon kept a promise That the dark couldn’t break So I knelt by the doorframe Let the silence ring Then the whole house shook loose When I gave back the thing [Final Chorus] Ivory thunder, take me higher Ivory thunder, set me on fire Say my name Then pull me through Ivory thunder, I’m coming for you Ivory thunder, don’t let go Ivory thunder, watch me glow Old soul New flame Ivory thunder, call my name
