Endless Fire (Acoustic)

[Intro] Quiet sky Cracked glass moon Finger on the page Of an old war tune [Verse 1] Boot prints On my childhood door Same flags Same tired war Names change But the marching stays Every promise Just another grave [Chorus] This is the war that never ends But I’m still drawing future plans On the back of every warning letter Saying “hold Hold on It gets better” If the night keeps coming on I’ll be the match You be the dawn Endless fire in a world gone wrong I’ll keep burning Till the guns are gone [Verse 2] I’ve seen Fathers lose their voice Mothers Given half a choice Kids learn Where the shelters are Before they learn Their favorite star [Chorus] This is the war that never ends But I’m still stitching broken hands Into banners made of quiet prayers Raise them high above the flares If the night keeps coming on I’ll be the match You be the dawn Endless fire in a world gone wrong I’ll keep burning Till the guns are gone (oh, till they’re gone) [Bridge] [Acoustic drops back Vocal almost a whisper] What if we lay down our stories first Every wound Every word that hurts What if we learn each other’s names Before we ever learn to aim (what if we change, what if we change) If every side is bleeding red How many more Before we say “enough” instead? [Chorus] This is the war that never ends But I see children holding hands Where the wire used to split the sand Planting flowers in the craters’ hands If the night keeps coming on We’ll be the match We’ll be the dawn Endless fire singing “we belong” Keep on burning Till the guns are gone (oh, we keep burning) Till the war is gone
