[The Breathless Burn] [ Verse 1: Male Vocals ] We strike the match beside the silver frame. The matchwood snaps against the heavy gray. The wick starts burning bright to speak your name. We wait for signs to wash the dark away. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] The love we hold outlasts the final breath. We seek a path across the divide of death. The silence waits where shadows used to hide. We need your presence drifting by our side. [ Verse 2: Female Vocals ] The floorboards rest beneath the silent weight. No draft disturbs the curtains in the hall. The candle gives your approval, clear and late. We watch the amber shadows climb the wall. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] The love we hold outlasts the final breath. We seek a path across the divide of death. The silence waits where shadows used to hide. We need your presence drifting by our side. [ Bridge: Male and Female Duet ] No wind. Cold air. A stagnant room. Suddenly shaking. Tearing through the gloom. No wind, yet it moves violently. When lit the candle flame moves, speaking silently. [ Verse 3: Male and Female Duet ] The golden flicker finds a rhythmic beat. It becomes your voice and spirit in the heat. The heavy grief gives way to golden hue. We look into the glow; the flame becomes you. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] The love we hold is burning in the breath. We found the path across the divide of death. The signal shines where shadows used to hide. We have your presence drifting by our side. [ Outro: Male and Female Duet ] Still air. Bright light. We see. Goodnight.
