[Verse 1]
I found your ring in the rain
Cold as a warning stone
Mud on the iron gate
And your name carved in bone
The halls still hold your steps
In the dark by the stair
I trace the ash of vows
Like you might still be there
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the sky crack open
Hear the old walls rise
If you’re gone, then take me
On that burning line
[Chorus]
Come back to the rampart
Come back to me
I’m holding the fire
Where your heart should be
Come back to the rampart
Don’t let me fall
I will sing your name
Till the black stars call
[Verse 2]
Your cloak on the broken chair
Your map in the drawer
A cup with the lip split wide
Like the last winter war
I wore your shadow thin
Through the churchyard lane
Still every empty door
Knows the shape of your pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the sky crack open
Hear the old walls rise
If you’re gone, then take me
On that burning line
[Chorus]
Come back to the rampart
Come back to me
I’m holding the fire
Where your heart should be
Come back to the rampart
Don’t let me fall
I will sing your name
Till the black stars call
[Bridge]
If the north wind takes you
I’ll stand in its blade
If the ground won’t keep you
I’ll make my own grave
Raise the iron banner
Let it tear through the night
I was made for breaking
But I still choose to fight
[Final Chorus]
Come back to the rampart
Come back to me
I’m holding the fire
Where your heart should be
Come back to the rampart
Don’t let me fall
I will sing your name
Till the black stars call
Come back to the rampart
Hear me roar
I was yours in the ruin
I am yours encore
