Lyrics
[Verse 1] The iron gate bends under winter rain Black stone remembers every name A silent bell swings over the square Calling the lost from nowhere [Pre-Chorus] You raise your eyes to the narrowing sky And find no promise there [Chorus] Hold fast, the mountain is moving Stand tall while the old walls fall One spark in the furnace of ruin Can outlive the weight of it all [Verse 2] Ash settles deep in the carpenter's door Footprints stop where they were before The river drags branches through the mill But your hands are steady still [Pre-Chorus] You taste the dust, you measure the flame And refuse the final word [Chorus] Hold fast, the mountain is moving Stand tall while the old walls fall One spark in the furnace of ruin Can outlive the weight of it all [Bridge] Let the bell break Let the black clouds gather Let the cold earth take Everything that cannot matter [Final chorus] Hold fast, the mountain is moving Stand tall while the old walls fall One spark in the furnace of ruin Becomes the fire inside us all [Outro] The gate hangs open in the rain We walk beyond the dust again
