(Verse 1) The iron sky begins to groan Above the glass and shifting sand He carves a path through white-hot stone To reach the garden of her hand The stars are needles in the dark The gravity is pulling thin But he is flint and he is spark To find the fire kept within (Chorus) He’ll bridge the canyon of the soul And tame the lightning in his palm To make the fractured circle whole And find the center of the calm No winter breath can freeze the vein Or stop the river’s rhythmic beat He is the thunder, she the rain Where heaven and the mountain meet (Verse 2) The shadows weave a heavy chain Around the gates of ancient sleep But every ghost and every stain Is just a secret he won’t keep He climbs the ladder of his breath Above the clouds of silver dust Defying every quiet death To reach the anchor of her trust (Chorus) He’ll bridge the canyon of the soul And tame the lightning in his palm To make the fractured circle whole And find the center of the calm No winter breath can freeze the vein Or stop the river’s rhythmic beat He is the thunder, she the rain Where heaven and the mountain meet (Bridge) Let the horizon fold and break Let the oceans turn to bone There is no depth he will not take To claim the heart he’s always known (Outro) The dawn is breaking through the wall The mercury begins to rise He is the echo and the call The sunrise burning in her eyes In her eyes... The circle is whole.
