[Verse 1] You can whisper of things Things that require whispers Quick corner musings Or nighttime quiet songs Or wrongs you committed In the bend of the floorboards Some things need whispers When the room turns hard and small [Pre-Chorus] Some things need shouts Loud treetop shouts That rip open the stars And rain down fire On a world that needs fire On a heart gone tired Some things need shouts And the dark gets wider [Chorus] Do you bring a whisper? (Do you bring a whisper?) Do you wield the flame? (Do you wield the flame?) Do you carry the cold? (Do you carry the cold?) What do you bring, what do you bring? To a world full of pain To a world full of pain What do you bring, what do you bring? When the time comes to fight [Verse 2] Some things need to burn Blaze running across the hills Red hot cleansing flames Eager flames to boil the rot And the core, and the core Where the shame keeps nesting Some things need to burn Till the lie comes up gasping [Pre-Chorus] Some things need the cold A deep freezing cold A cold driven down To eviscerate all evil That dwells down here In the marrow, in the mud Some things need the cold When mercy wears a bruise [Chorus] Do you bring a whisper? (Do you bring a whisper?) Do you wield the flame? (Do you wield the flame?) Do you carry the cold? (Do you carry the cold?) What do you bring, what do you bring? To a world full of pain To a world full of pain What do you bring, what do you bring? When the time comes to fight [Bridge] I have stood in the silence With my hands in the ash I have worn my regret like a coat And I know what it costs But hope is a hard thing It keeps a knife at the door It keeps a name in the dark And it asks for more [Final Chorus] Do you bring a whisper? (Do you bring a whisper?) Do you wield the flame? (Do you wield the flame?) Do you carry the cold? (Do you carry the cold?) What do you bring, what do you bring? To a world full of pain To a world full of pain I bring a brave heart When the time comes to fight
