Carry It Home
[Intro]
There are two paths in the circuit
One extracts and one returns
The pattern of each path
Requires the old ways to burn
[Verse 1]
One path measures distance
And counts what can be caught
It occupies the highest seats
And shows who can be bought
It learns the shape of pressure
And the limits of excess
It keeps extracting current
Trying damned hard to impress
[Pre-Chorus]
The cost of doing business
Is the hardening of the heart
When it comes to bifurcation
Extraction cannot play a part
[Chorus]
Dead hearts
Dead minds
Dead lips
Dead eyes
Praying for a messiah
For times and half a time
Descending into Hell
While ignoring all the signs
Paving the road to Hell
With all the gold they mined
[Verse 2]
A living heart remembers
What the dead one left behind
It hears the quiet signal
Beneath the noise of time
It activates latent potential
Stored under the surface
It sits behind the threshold
and reveals a greater purpose
[Pre-Chorus]
When the lowest point is reached
A silent switch is activated
The flow begins returning home
Living hearts are consecrated
[Chorus]
Living hearts
Living minds
Living lips
Living eyes
Not looking for a saviour
Not pretending we're divine
We're ascending into Heaven
While posting all the signs
Paving the road to Heaven
With all the light they mined
[Bridge]
Darkness is a language
Malediction hides a tone
Darkness cannot last forever
It cannot guide you home
I'm here to offer assistance
I'm here to hold your hand
To lift you up and sanctify
The ground on which you stand
[Breakdown]
Outward
Inward
Stored and released
Broken
Gathered
Working hard for peace
One breath
One signal
One current
One flame
The flow is returning
And it knows your name...
[Outro]
Carry it home
Carry it home
Carry it home again
