Send up your flame

Текст песни:

[Verse 1]
The forge is cold, I wait for you
Every motion measured through the haze
Steel in hand, I count the days
Above my head, the black sky breaks
([Echoed whisper]: You’re close, you’re far)

[Pre-Chorus]
I watch the line, I watch the line
Each moment slow, each moment mine
[Bagpipes enter, soft]

[Chorus]
Send up your flame, I’ll answer back
Signal fire burning, cutting through the black
Send up your flame, don’t turn away
I’ll stay and keep the watch until the breaking day

[Verse 2]
Gears grind below my feet, thunder rains
I measure time against the stains
Through the rattle, through the cries
Hope is something that survives
([Echoed whisper]: Still here, still bound)

[Pre-Chorus]
I watch the line, I watch the line
Each moment slow, each moment mine

[Chorus]
Send up your flame, I’ll answer back
Signal fire burning, cutting through the black
Send up your flame, don’t fade to gray
I’ll stay and keep the watch until the light can stay

[Bridge]
(Solo bagpipes, drums and orchestra swelling)
Tutto tace, ma il cuore chiama
Accendi il segno nella notte grama
Rispondo ancora – non sono solo
Aspetto qui, lascio il tempo volo
([Choral echo]: Volo – volo – volo)

[Chorus]
Send up your flame, I’ll answer back
Signal fire burning, cutting through the black
Send up your flame, keep me awake
I’ll stay and keep the watch, my promise will not break

[Outro]
([Long echoed whisper]: I’ll stay, I’ll stay)
[battle drums and orchestral swell to silence]
