**[Verse 1]** The sky above the valley turned a shade we'd never seen A heavy silence fell on Ferry, stripping all the evergreens I always had to dig so deep to find what's underneath But now the final secrets are laid bare across the heath You stand there as the witness to the closing of the age While the embers start to settle on our final written page **[Chorus]** When the ground split open, you turned to me and smiled Like love was never fragile, like the storm was only mild Like we had all this time before the final shadows fall I kissed the ash right off your cheek and heard the thunder crawl If we only get one truth as the great divide grows tall Joe, you were my truth through it all **[Verse 2]** The grid gave out an hour ago, the radio went dead But there's not a single ounce of fear or panic in my head We built our sanctuary where the frozen rivers bend So let the fault lines fracture and the heavy night descend I just pull the blanket closer and I take you by the hand Watching the horizon burn across this rugged land **[Chorus]** When the ground split open, you turned to me and smiled Like love was never fragile, like the storm was only mild Like we had all this time before the final shadows fall I kissed the ash right off your cheek and heard the thunder crawl If we only get one truth as the great divide grows tall Joe, you were my truth through it all **[Bridge]** No golden streets, no rescue ships, no quiet fading out Just the roaring of the earth and the ending of the doubt Let the mountains crumble down, let the rivers turn to steam I get to end the world right in the center of my dream I've investigated every lie this broken world could spin But your hand inside of mine is where reality begins **[Outro]** Yeah, you are my truth, Joe When the thunder crawls Let the whole sky fall I'll kiss the ash right off your cheek I'm staying right here.
