[Intro]
(Softly distorted electric piano with thick reverb. Silent, spacious atmosphere. Electronic metronome tick fades in.)
[Verse 1]
The dust is settling on the windowsill,
But our feet are moving, never standing still.
I’ve memorized the map inside your palm,
A jagged line of storms, then a sudden calm.
We’re building cathedrals out of broken glass,
Watching the cynical shadows pass.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Bass synth starts pulsing softly. Drum kick hits on every fourth beat.)
It’s not a sprint, it’s a long, dark climb,
Stealing back seconds from the hands of time.
My knees are bruised from the altar floor,
I’m knocking, I’m kicking at Heaven’s door.
[Chorus]
(Dynamics explode: Full band, synth brass, tempo increases to 120 BPM)
I’ll carry the weight until the gravity breaks,
I’ll love you through every mistake we make!
Beyond the silver, beyond the grey,
I’m fighting for us every single day.
Until the Great Hand draws the line,
Until the stars refuse to shine,
I am yours, and you are mine.
[Verse 2]
(Rhythm becomes asymmetric/staccato. Drums are more experimental with metallic percussion)
They told us "let go," said "the rope is thin,"
But they don’t know the stubborn heart within.
It’s a gritty kind of grace, a holy kind of war,
What else is a soul even created for?
If not to bleed for the one who stays?
In the weary nights and the blurry haze.
[Bridge]
(Instruments suddenly stop completely. A moment of silence.)
[A Cappella]
(Layered vocal harmonies, sounding like a grand yet intimate church choir)
Lord, give us the marrow, give us the spark,
To light up the corners where the world grows dark.
Don’t take the candle till the wax is gone,
Keep us together till the break of dawn.
Till You say it’s over...
Till You call us home.
[Chorus]
(Maximum Dynamics: Tempo 140 BPM, sharp alt-pop guitar distortion, very energetic)
I’ll carry the weight until the gravity breaks,
I’ll love you through every mistake we make!
Beyond the silver, beyond the grey,
I’m fighting for us every single day.
Until the Great Hand draws the line,
Until the stars refuse to shine,
I am yours, and you are mine.
[Outro]
(Dynamics drop sharply. Return to the electric piano from the Intro. Heavy breathing sounds in the background)
I won't stop...
I won't fold...
Through the heat, and through the cold.
(Fade out with whispered voice)
Until He calls...
Until He calls...
We fight on.
