Kill the World

[Кіріспе] [Куплет 1] Dispatch broke through the dusk at four A snowcat rolled above the gate I climbed the ridge with splint and rope The wind kept shoving at my face You were pinned beside the track Your glove was red against the snow I braced your leg and held you still While powder swept across the road [Қайырма] Hold on, driver, stay with me We’ll get you down before the storm The ridge is turning hard and mean But i won’t leave you here alone Hold on, driver, breathe with me One careful move, one steady hand The forecast worsened as it came We’ll find a line and get you home [Куплет 2] The winch crew fought beside the pines One wanted high, one wanted wide I watched the slope above the cat And checked the fracture line again Your jaw was set against the cold I tightened every strap in place Then radioed the warning through The new report had raised the danger [Қайырма] Hold on, driver, stay with me We’ll get you down before the storm The ridge is turning hard and mean But i won’t leave you here alone Hold on, driver, breathe with me One careful move, one steady hand The forecast worsened as it came We’ll find a line and get you home [Көпір] No shortcut through that loaded bowl No cable where the cornice breaks We wait for the safer angle And keep you warm beneath the tarp [Guitar solo] [Қайырма] Hold on, driver, stay with me We’ll get you down before the storm The ridge is turning hard and mean But i won’t leave you here alone Hold on, driver, breathe with me One careful move, one steady hand The forecast worsened as it came We’ll find a line and get you home [Аутро] The winch took hold; we eased you down The ridge went quiet, dusk went blue I kept your hand inside my glove And stayed until the road came through
