Lyric

The asphalt holds the ghost of noon

While shadows stretch toward the bay

We gather underneath the moon

To watch the daylight fade away

A match is struck against the dark

The fuse begins its silver climb

We wait to feel that sudden spark

To freeze the spinning gears of time

Can you feel it rising

Rising through the air

Can you see it breaking

Breaking everywhere

Oh let the heavens open wide

The stars are falling to the tide

Look up and shout it to the sky

I hear you call and I reply

The colors crash above the hill

The world is shaking but we stand still

Together in the brilliant flare

A million sparks are blooming there

The violet blooms and fades to gold

A heavy thunder rolls below

The stories that our fathers told

Are written in the embers glow

Your face is painted pink and blue

Against the curtain of the night

Every word I scream to you

Is carried on a wave of light

Can you feel it rising

Rising through the air

Can you see it breaking

Breaking everywhere

Oh let the heavens open wide

The stars are falling to the tide

Look up and shout it to the sky

I hear you call and I reply

The colors crash above the hill

The world is shaking but we stand still

Together in the brilliant flare

A million sparks are blooming there

Oh let the heavens open wide

The stars are falling to the tide

Look up and shout it to the sky

I hear you call and I reply

The colors crash above the hill

The world is shaking but we stand still

Together in the brilliant flare

A million sparks are blooming there
