[ Intro ]
(só piano, notas espaçadas, quase como estrelas aparecendo no escuro)
There was nothing No sound, no name Just an endless dark Waiting for a flame
[ Verso 1 ]
I could hear the silence breathing Like the sky before the storm Every shadow, every question Hadn't learned its shape or form
You were there inside the distance Like a spark beneath the sea A million worlds asleep around us Still becoming what they'd be
[ Pré-Refrão ]
And all at once The night began to shake The stars leaned close As if they knew we'd wake
[ Refrão com grito de emoção melancólico ]
Then the light came rushing in Like the start of everything Like the first breath of the universe Like the fire beneath our skin
And the world was born again In the space between our hands We were louder than the silence We were bigger than the end
[ Verso 2 ]
Cities rise and people vanish Mountains fall into the tide But there are echoes that keep burning Long after time has closed its eyes
So if tomorrow leaves us empty If the sky forgets our names There'll still be something in the darkness Calling softly through the flames
[ Ponte / Explosão ]
(bateria entra, cordas crescem, a voz deixa de ser sussurrada e vira um grito contido)
We are not dust We are not ghosts We are the sound before the thunder The last thing lost The first thing found The heart of every broken wonder
So let it fall Let it break Let the old world disappear Because before the light Before the dawn We were already here
[ Último Refrão ]
Then the light came rushing in Like the start of everything Like the first breath of the universe Like the fire beneath our skin
And the world was born again In the space between our hands We were louder than the silence We were bigger than the end
We were bigger than the end We were bigger than the end
[ Final instrumental ]
(O piano repete lentamente a melodia do refrão, enquanto um coral distante canta apenas:)
"Ahhh... before the light..."
