[Intro] [clean electric guitar arpeggio, ambient synth pads] [Verse 1] [tenor male vocals, soft bass pulse] Stars keep burning out alone The night just lets them fall A thousand years of stone But time remembers all [distorted guitar power chords enter] The empires turn to dust and sand The seasons learn to lie But here you are and here I stand With nothing left to hide [Chorus] [full band, driving drums, heavy distorted guitar] When the last light fades and the night is long Will you still be the one I'm holding? When the world forgets the names and songs Will you still be the one worth knowing? Hearts beyond the end Dare we try Hearts beyond the end [Verse 2] [drums drop out, clean guitar arpeggio] I need to know Your hand in mine at the edge of dark A truth that won't grow old The only thing that leashes Is the story we have told [Chorus] [full band, soaring vocals] When the last light fades and the night is long Will you still be the one I'm holding? When the world forgets the names and songs Will you still be the one worth knowing? Hearts beyond the end Dare we try Hearts beyond the end Before we die [Bridge] [intense drum fills, melodic guitar lead] And if the stars all burn to nothing If the moon falls from the sky I will stand among the ashes With the fire in your eyes Let the ages take my body Let the wind erase my name I have loved you past the ending And I'd do it all again [Guitar Solo] [distorted lead guitar, heavy rhythm section] [Chorus] [crescendo, orchestral strings] Hearts beyond the end Dare we try Hearts beyond the end Before we die [Outro] [clean guitar arpeggio fades, ambient synth] MUSIC (+) LYRICS (+)
