(Intro)
The wind howls through a hollow sky
A thousand miles of shattered night
The ground below begins to split
But I won’t let you fall in it
The storm keeps screaming overhead
But I refuse to bow my head
If something has to break tonight
Then let it be my spine.
(Verse 1)
I felt the earth begin to crack
A thousand shadows at my back
The road ahead was torn apart
But I could still outlast the dark
Every step a heavier chain
Every breath a deeper pain
But if the path collapsed away
I’d build another out of me
(Chorus)
So walk across my bones tonight
Step through the dark into the light
You’ll never see the ground give way
Because I’ll hold it while you stray
Let the weight destroy my frame
Let the sky forget my name
If the world demands a cost from me
Then I will pay it silently.
(Verse 2)
The storm grew louder in my chest
A war I buried in my breath
I felt the cracks beneath my skin
But I refused to let them in
The sky could fall in endless waves
The mountains sink into their graves
But if the road you needed broke
I’d lay my body down in stone
(Chorus)
So walk across my bones tonight
Step through the dark into the light
You’ll never see the ground give way
Because I’ll hold it while you stray
Let the weight destroy my frame
Let the sky forget my name
If the world demands a cost from me
Then I will pay it silently.
(Bridge)
I hear the thunder in my veins
The sound of breaking iron chains
Every fracture screaming loud
But I will never say it now
Because some roads are built from pain
And some storms must remain unnamed
And sometimes love is just the act
Of standing where the world would crack
(Chorus)
So walk across my bones tonight
Step through the dark into the light
You’ll never see the ground give way
Because I’ll hold it while you stray
Let the weight destroy my frame
Let the sky forget my name
If the world demands a cost from me
Then I will pay it silently.
(Breakdown)
The earth is breaking in my hands.
The sky is crushing down my lungs.
The storm is tearing through my bones.
But you keep walking.
And that is enough.
(Final Chorus)
So walk across my bones tonight
Step through the dark into the light
You’ll never know the world was falling
Because I stood where it was calling
Let the heavens take my breath
Let the darkness claim what’s left
If your tomorrow still remains
Then every fracture was my gain.
(Outro)
The storm is quiet now at last
The road has finally come to pass
And somewhere far beyond this night
You crossed the dark
And found the light.
