Tekst piosenki
The dust settles on the limestone floor
Where the heavy iron hinges meet the door
A shadow stretches long across the grain
Of a history written in the driving rain
The wood is notched by a thousand hands
Trying to hold what no soul understands
The silence is a weight upon the chest
For the weary heart that never found its rest
[Chorus]
Trace the lines until the circle breaks
Underneath the burden of our old mistakes
The intersection of the bone and the breath
Standing in the doorway between life and death
One motion for the mercy we can never keep
While the city and the giants fall asleep
The sign of the cross in a world of lead
Searching for the living among the dead
[Chorus]
Trace the lines until the circle breaks
Underneath the burden of our old mistakes
The intersection of the bone and the breath
Standing in the doorway between life and death
One motion for the mercy we can never keep
While the city and the giants fall asleep
The sign of the cross in a world of lead
Searching for the living among the dead
[Verse]
The prophets are all trading in their gold
For a story that has never been quite told
I saw you leaning on a broken gate
Counting out the minutes of a heavy fate
The ink is dry upon the hollow page
The tiger is still pacing in the cage
There are no medals for the scars we wear
Only the cold vibration of an empty prayer
[Pre-Chorus]
The horizon is a wire stretched so tight
Between the fading day and the coming night
We move our fingers in a pattern of the old
To find a flicker in a kingdom turning cold
[Chorus]
Trace the lines until the circle breaks
Underneath the burden of our old mistakes
The intersection of the bone and the breath
Standing in the doorway between life and death
One motion for the mercy we can never keep
While the city and the giants fall asleep
The sign of the cross in a world of lead
Searching for the living among the dead
[Chorus]
Trace the lines until the circle breaks
Underneath the burden of our old mistakes
The intersection of the bone and the breath
Standing in the doorway between life and death
One motion for the mercy we can never keep
While the city and the giants fall asleep
The sign of the cross in a world of lead
Searching for the living among the dead
