[Verse 1] You came in white and gold Like a vow on fire Through the hall of stone With your eyes on the wire A clock began to crack In the glass above Every candle shook When you spoke of love [Pre-Chorus] And I heard that distant cry Rising through the steel Like a door in the dark That I could still not seal [Chorus] Time falls down, time falls down Break the chain, break it now Time falls down, time falls down Hear the thunder call us out [Verse 2] On the marble floor Lay a shattered crown Seven notes of grief Turn the whole room round You held the midnight thread I held the flame When the sharp wind rose We were not the same [Pre-Chorus] And the high note cut the air Like a blade of light I could see my shadow Split in the fight [Chorus] Time falls down, time falls down Break the chain, break it now Time falls down, time falls down Hear the thunder call us out [Bridge] [Slow build] From the chapel steps To the iron sky Let the old walls shake Let the false kings die Now the stairway burns Now the ravens scream Now the whole thing turns Like a fever dream [Breakdown] Oh-oh, rising Oh-oh, higher Oh-oh, rising Through the fire [Final Chorus] Time falls down, time falls down Break the chain, break it now Time falls down, time falls down Hear the thunder call us out Time falls down, time falls down Lift your voice, don’t let it drown Time falls down, time falls down We were born to shake it down
