[Intro] [staccato piano riff, synth bass, electronic percussion] (Mmm, yeah) (Mmm, yeah) [Verse 1] [acoustic guitar enters, piano continues] The morning air is biting through the glass I watch the garden turn to gold from green A quiet rhythm moving in the grass The simplest beauty that I've ever seen [Verse 2] You trace the lines upon my tired hands A gentle way to promise that we keep Across the stretch of shifting desert sands Before the world begins to wake from sleep [Pre-Chorus] [drums build, synth pads swell] It pulls me in, a sudden rush of heat The turning point where rhythm starts to climb We find the middle where the pulses meet Lost in the turning of the gears of time [Chorus] [full band, distorted electric guitar, driving drums] It feels like fire burning through the vein A sudden burst of color in the white Clearing the heavy clouds of sudden rain Turning the darkest corner into light Higher than we have ever dared to go A current running deep beneath the stone Just like the river with the steady flow I'm never standing in the dark alone [Post-Chorus] [vocal ad-libs, synth lead melody] (Oh-oh-oh) [Verse 3] [drums drop to kick only, acoustic guitar strumming] The heavy doors are swinging open wide We leave the baggage waiting at the gate With nothing left for us to run and hide We let the future finally dictate [Verse 4] The winter season then the harvest clear A steady flicker glowing in the room The only thing that I am needing here Is banishing the winter and the gloom [Chorus] [full band energy] It feels like fire burning through the vein A sudden burst of color in the white Clearing the heavy clouds of sudden rain Turning the darkest corner into light Higher than we have ever dared to go A current running deep beneath the stone Just like the river with the steady flow I'm never standing in the dark alone [Bridge] [half-time feel, piano and atmospheric synths] Let the momentum carry us away Up to the edges where the day begins Nothing to lose and nothing more to say We let the rhythm wash away our sins [crescendo] I say! [Chorus] [maximum intensity, layered harmonies] It feels like fire burning through the vein A sudden burst of color in the white Clearing the heavy clouds of sudden rain Turning the darkest corner into light Higher than we have ever dared to go A current running deep beneath the stone Just like the river with the steady flow I'm never standing in the dark alone [Outro] [guitar riff, driving beat] (Oh-oh-oh) Just like the river (Oh-oh-oh) The steady energy (Oh-oh-oh) The fire is waking (Oh-oh-oh) The promise we keep [final piano chord, fade out]
