Like Atlas Holds The Earth
[Verse 1]
“Step through the hall of fears,” she seemed to beckon, reaching
“This heart of broken glass will be no match for me.”
Should there be galaxies of hate beneath the crumbling archways
Her love, like Atlas, holds the Earth back from the sounding sea
[Pre-Chorus]
These will be secrets, mine to keep
These will be treasons, buried deep
[Verse 2]
Our footsteps softened by the dust of fifteen thousand ages
We brushed our fingers on the palisades of silent stone
Where none had ever walked, she laughed, her breath a whisper:
“Remember that the trails we find will never lead us home.”
[Pre-Chorus]
These will be secrets, mine to keep
These will be treasons, buried deep
[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid (though every door swings open)
We will be safe (though endless chasms yawn)
Breathe deeply (the gears of time are slipping)
Stay here, stay close
[Pre-Chorus]
These will be secrets, mine to keep
These will be treasons, buried deep
[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid (though every door swings open)
We will be safe (though endless chasms yawn)
Breathe deeply (the gears of time are slipping)
Stay here, stay close
