📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The clock has silver in its hands
The grass has thunder underneath
A thousand flags become one lung
Waiting for the old light's breath

[Pre-Chorus]
Red dawn moving in a line
Young wheels turning, sharp and bright
Still a match lives in the dark
Still a foot can bend the night

[Chorus]
One last light over the line
One last turn, one last climb
Let tomorrow raise its sky
Leave one last light over the line

[Verse 2]
They built the morning out of passes
Clean as glass and quick as rain
He keeps a spark behind his heartbeat
And the whole night catches flame

[Chorus]
One last light over the line
One last turn, one last climb
Let tomorrow raise its sky
Leave one last light over the line

[Bridge]
We don't ask the years for mercy
We don't ask the young to wait
We just want to see the fire
Slip through the closing gate

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
One last light over the line
One last breath inside the time
When the new red morning shines
Remember the light over the line

[Outro]
The clock keeps silver in its hands
The grass keeps thunder underneath
And somewhere past the whistle's cry
The old light learns to breathe
