Lyric

Under the amber veil of dusk

The little hours ask for trust

Bitter air can bend the spine

Still the heart can keep its line

A quiet lamp inside the chest

Turns the rush to something blessed

Steps can stagger, skies can bruise

Still the soul can choose to move

And every age knows this sound

When the sky goes low, stand ground

Love is a thread in the storm

Work is a fire kept warm

Cinder tides, carry on

Cinder tides, till the dawn

Turn the weight into gold

Keep the ember, keep the soul

Cinder tides, side by side

Cinder tides, open wide

Every heart, every name

Rises clean through the flame

In the long hall of the day

Tender words can light the way

Romance lives in patient air

In the glance that says, "Stay there"

When the edges start to fray

Let the softest truth stay

Not a crown, not a prize

Just a spark in steady eyes

And every age knows this sound

When the sky goes low, stand ground

Love is a thread in the storm

Work is a fire kept warm

Cinder tides, carry on

Cinder tides, till the dawn

Turn the weight into gold

Keep the ember, keep the soul

Cinder tides, side by side

Cinder tides, open wide

Every heart, every name

Rises clean through the flame

For the hands that build the road

For the backs that bear the load

For the dreamers at the desk

For the tired and for the best

Take the warning, keep the grace

Don't let hurry steal your pace

Sharp words cut the tender thread

Choose the silver line instead

And every age knows this sound

When the sky goes low, stand ground

Love is a thread in the storm

Work is a fire kept warm

Cinder tides, carry on

Cinder tides, till the dawn

Turn the weight into gold

Keep the ember, keep the soul

Cinder tides, side by side

Cinder tides, open wide

Every heart, every name

Rises clean through the flame

When the dark grows deep and long

Keep a small brave line of song

If the world comes rough and cold

Let the hidden fire unfold

Not a plea, not a chain

Just a pulse beneath the rain

Through the hush, through the sway

Hope returns another day

Cinder tides, carry on

Cinder tides, till the dawn

Turn the weight into gold

Keep the ember, keep the soul

Cinder tides, side by side

Cinder tides, open wide

Every heart, every name

Rises clean through the flame

Cinder tides, carry on

Cinder tides, carry on
