[Verse 1] Black dust in my throat Iron in my hands One more mile of dark One more crack in the land I swing past the fear I swing past the ache Every hit is blind Every hit is late [Pre-Chorus] My arms are giving out My knees are folding slow I can feel the wall But I still don’t know If I’m making scars Or just feeding stone Still I lift it up Still I swing alone [Chorus] One more strike One more strike You’re closer than you know One more strike One more strike And the whole dark lets go (One more strike) (One more strike) I can see it now One more strike One more strike And the ground breaks out [Verse 2] Miles of rock and sweat Salt on my face I was ready to quit Right there in that place The tool felt like lead My hands felt dead Then the wall gave back With a thunderhead [Pre-Chorus] I heard the silence split I felt the air move first Something underneath Was waking in the earth I was one breath from gone One breath from the floor Then the stone replied And I swung once more [Chorus] One more strike One more strike You’re closer than you know One more strike One more strike And the whole dark lets go (One more strike) (One more strike) I can see it now One more strike One more strike And the ground breaks out [Bridge] Then it all opened wide Like a hidden sea Glowing on the walls Was a whole new me Breath came rushing in Like a tidal wave All the pain I bore Turned to light that stayed [Final Chorus] One more strike One more strike You’re closer than you know One more strike One more strike And the whole dark lets go (One more strike) (One more strike) I can see it now One more strike One more strike And the ground breaks out
