Burning Bright
by Phinehas

Album: Dark Flag

Verse 1
They stole you far away
To the end of the sea
From rib and clay
My lantern and key

Verse 2
Home is the narrow & wide reaches of our shared scars
On tomorrow's horizon, I wait
To believe I choose to see

Pre-Chorus
When the sun is down
Show me how to reflect like the moon
The key is in my hands and I choose to burn bright
Safe years behind me burn bright

Chorus
I know now I am not alone
You've always found me in the deep of night
I could die well here before morning comes
Because I can see all the lights of the sun in your eyes

Verse 3
We spoke of lovely things
With guards not listening
We made plans to escape
Like in the movies
Confiding in scripts
Kindling in secret
Our home discrete
In captors' keep

Verse 4
In quiet still small moments
Wait till they leave us alone
And don't look back
Cross with me over the threshold
My inimitable half
In quiet still small moments
I hear you breathe and I remember
I am alive
I am alive
I found you under distant stars
Distant stars
You saw me through my deepest dark

Chorus
(I can see all the lights of the sun in your)
I know now I am not alone
You've always found me in the deep of night
I could die well here, before morning comes
Because I can see all the lights of the sun in your eyes

Bridge
Home is the narrow & wide reaches of our shared scars
On tomorrow's horizon
I can see all the lights of the sun in your eyes (sun in your eyes)
The key is in my hands and I choose to burn bright
Safe years behind me burn bright
