[Verse 1] You stood where the pale horizon split With dust from a thousand worlds on your sleeve I followed the line of your silver steps Past the quiet where old suns sleep [Pre-Chorus] You said, “If the sky forgets our names, Will you still know the way?” I held your hand against the cold And watched the dark give way [Chorus] We are the fire they couldn’t bury The last bright mark across the deep When every distant kingdom falters I’ll keep the promise that we keep Through the falling ash, through the breaking blue I will cross that endless sea for you [Verse 2] A crown of dust lay under our feet The moon hung low like a door unlatched You gave me the map with the torn-out edge And said, “There’s more than the worlds we’ve passed” [Pre-Chorus] So if the sky forgets our names, Let it turn and look again Two small sparks against the vast Still rising through the end [Chorus] We are the fire they couldn’t bury The last bright mark across the deep When every distant kingdom falters I’ll keep the promise that we keep Through the falling ash, through the breaking blue I will cross that endless sea for you [Breakdown] No crown, no kingdom No map to lead me home Just your hand in mine And the path we make alone [Final Chorus] We are the fire they couldn’t bury A living mark across the deep Let every distant kingdom falter Our little vow is ours to keep Through the falling ash, through the breaking blue I will cross that endless sea for you I will cross that endless sea for you [Outro] When the last horizon closes I’ll still know the way to you
