[Verse 1] Fog rolls over the asphalt line Counting the hours, losing track of time Static whispers through the empty room Chasing shadows under gathering gloom Every compass points to shifting sand Nothing solid underneath my hand [Chorus] And the night is heavy, thick with doubt Like a fire dying, running out Still a spark is burning in the grey Lighting up the middle of the way In the deepest dark, a quiet breath Holding steady underneath the stress [Verse 2] Riffling papers on a cluttered desk Answers fading, leaving only quest Echoes bouncing off the hollow wall Waiting for the other shoe to fall Yet the morning waits beyond the hill Even when the world is standing still [Chorus] And the night is heavy, thick with doubt Like a fire dying, running out Still a spark is burning in the grey Lighting up the middle of the way In the deepest dark, a quiet breath Holding steady underneath the stress [Bridge] Through the turbulence, an iron spine Tracing outlines of a grand design Not a promise made of easy gold Just a warmth against the rising cold [Outro] Keep the step ahead Dawn ahead [Instrumental fade]
