Fires Beneath Silk
Yeah,
let the fire catch its breath...
I watched the embers turning gray upon the stone
Tried to build a kingdom standing on my own
Got a freight train cadence running through my chest
Running out of time,
running out of rest
You feel the tension pulling tight across the wire
One little breath is gonna feed the fire
(yeah, feed it now)
When the thunder calls your name in the dead of night
Stand inside the storm,
hold on to the light (hold on tight)
Nothing's gonna tear this foundation down
Concrete cracking underneath my boots
Can't rip away these deep-tangled roots
Got the fever in my throat and the sweat in my hands
Making my stand where the wild wind lands
(give it to me now)
The river rises right before it breaks the dam
I gotta show the world
exactly who
I am!
(ohhhhh) Burn it down to build it right!
(let it burn, let it burn) Take the pain and turn it
into light!
When the thunder calls your name in the dead of night
(dead of night...
hold on) Stand inside the storm,
hold on to the light!
(hold on to
the light)
We won't let the shadows bring us down!
(hummmm... hold on...) Yeah.
That's the light.
