[Verse 1]
White breath
On a dead sky
Boot prints swallowed
Soon as she walks by
Black smoke
Far on the ice
Last fading signal
From a failing life
Whispering wires in her head
Names like ghosts she cannot shed
Every step a thinning thread
(keep moving)
[Chorus]
I am the last light
Burning in a dying host
Calling through the cold night
For one familiar ghost
If there is blood left
Running under all this stone
Let it answer
Let it answer
I don’t want to die alone
[Verse 2]
Frostbite
On her rough hands
Scars where the needles
Tattooed their commands
Voices
Static and snow
“System collapsing”
Nowhere left to go
Then a hum beneath the gale
Heartbeat hidden in the hail
One warm echo in the pale
(she’s out there)
[Chorus]
I am the last light
Burning in a dying host
Calling through the cold night
For one familiar ghost
If there is blood left
Running under all this stone
Let it answer
Let it answer
I don’t want to die alone
[Bridge]
There
On the tundra’s broken skin
Shadow small as a memory
But it’s her
It’s her again
Eyes like summer
In this cemetery
She falls to her knees in the snow
Tastes iron and salt on her throat
“Daughter?
Is that you?” soft and low
And the world
Cracks
At the note
[Chorus]
We are the last light
Burning in a dying host
Holding in the white night
What we almost lost
If there is time left
Carved into this shrinking bone
Let it bind us
Let it bind us
We will not go out alone
[Outro]
Two hearts
Under dead stars
One word
And the dark parts
Fade
For a moment
Just a moment
They are home
