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
