Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Smell of rain on the red dirt
Baby crying in the back room still
You said
"Love
Keep the lantern burning"
While I stepped out to the windowsill
Shadows crawling on the fence posts
Teeth and laughter in the dark
Every breath like a loaded arrow
Every heartbeat struck a spark
[Chorus]
I’m the fire at the gate
I’m the line they cannot break
Every ghost that calls our name
I’m the storm that sends them shaking
I’ll stand tall
I won’t bend
Till the last dark thing is taken
I’m the fire at the gate
And my love is the blade I’m raising
[Verse 2]
They came twisting through the cornfield
Whispers scraping at the door
Claws on glass
Cold hands reaching
Like they’d been here long before
I heard our boy in his sleep talk
Calling out to things unseen
So I carved your names in my knuckles
Walked out barefoot to the scream
[Chorus]
I’m the fire at the gate
I’m the line they cannot break
Every ghost that calls our name
I’m the storm that sends them shaking
I’ll stand tall
I won’t bend
Till the last dark thing is taken
I’m the fire at the gate
And my love is the blade I’m raising
[Bridge]
Come on
Come on
I’m not running (hey!)
I was born for this
Born for this night
Every scar is a little red promise
That I’ll drag you all back to the light
When the dust settles over the hillside
And the old house finally sighs
You’ll be sleeping in the quiet
I’ll be watching with open eyes (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m the fire at the gate
I’m the line they could not break
Every ghost that knew our name
Lies in pieces where they came in
I stand tall
I don’t bend
Till the last dark thing is taken
I’m the fire at the gate
And my love is the blade that saved them
