Elliot Vernon - The Swan lyrics

The paths we've learnt to wander All narrow, winding, steep We've walked them lone and sightless Over hills and valleys deep As lights around us dim and die We stand to fight again Will you run into the darkness Or refuse to meet the end? When the sun has left the sky Will you still be flying high? Or will you be the one who wouldn’t even try? The stars are all extinguished And the sky is black and cold The sun is but a memory Of fire and shining gold As we walk into the twilight With no spark to light the way Just remember now to keep your course At the dying of the day The road that lays before you The horizon in your sights May look like that behind you In the shadow of the night But let yourself go on now And follow every star For every star’s a rising sun And the light has travelled far When the earth comes round again Will you be holding the flame? Or will you be someone who couldn’t take the pain? The fire it keeps smouldering Just waiting for the fuel And when the nights are colder, we'll Keep walking by the moon The flame was always burning The embers always bright The wheel it keeps on turning towards the light The fire on the horizon A burst of golden flame Cast of your sins and spread your wings And tell the world your name Watch the clouds be torn apart A beacon through the haze The light inside of everything The candle or the blaze
