[Verse 1] The northern winds have turned to stone. Out in the cold, we stand alone. A quiet cabin at the edge of time, Where reason fades and frost begins to climb. We wrote our history in the winter dust, A sacred ledger of an iron trust. [Pre-Chorus] Before the quiet takes the spoken word, Before the final, rushing tide is heard... [Chorus] Before the stars forgot our names. Before the skies were torn by flames. You were the light inside my soul. I was the shadow making us whole. Creation dancing hand in hand with death. Loving you was my eternal breath. And even when the world fell apart, You carried me inside your heart. [Verse 2] If time demands that one must walk ahead, Leaving the other with the words unsaid, The pages turn, the ink begins to dry, But constellations memorize the sky. I hold the record of the days we fought, The unvarnished truth of every lesson taught. [Pre-Chorus] Before the quiet takes the spoken word, Before the final, rushing tide is heard... [Chorus] Before the stars forgot our names. Before the skies were torn by flames. You were the light inside my soul. I was the shadow making us whole. Creation dancing hand in hand with death. Loving you was my eternal breath. And even when the world fell apart, You carried me inside your heart. [Bridge] This isn't just a comfort for the dark, It is the striking of an endless spark. When one of us returns to ash and clay, The other listens to the things we’d say. Through every argument and every storm, The memory of us remains alive and warm. [Chorus] Before the stars forgot our names. Before the skies were torn by flames. You were the light inside my soul. I was the shadow making us whole. Creation dancing hand in hand with death. Loving you was my eternal breath. And even when the world fell apart, You carried me inside your heart. [Outro] A river cuts the valley in the deep. A watchful spirit while the ashes sleep. You carried me. I chronicle the flame. Before the stars forgot our names.
