The Last Lantern versuri

Versuri Celtic Echo – The Last Lantern lyrics

I built my altar on shifting sand
Spoke of light with trembling hands
Every promise that I swore to keep
Now lies scattered at my feet

I lit a candle for the ones I failed
Watched it flicker, watched it pale
I tried to fix what I had torn apart
But every stitch just broke my heart

I’m holding out the last lantern in the dark
Searching for one remaining spark
But the wind is cruel and the night is wide
I’m losing the faith I used to hide
Oh, I gave away my fragile soul
Just to dig a deeper hole

The saints have turned their faces cold
The stories I believed are growing old
I called for mercy, I begged for grace
But silence answered in its place

I’m holding out the last lantern in the dark
Searching for one remaining spark
But the wind is cruel and the night is wide
I’m losing the faith I used to hide
Oh, I gave away my fragile soul
Just to dig a deeper hole

I’m sorry for the man I became
I’m sorry for the light I stained
If I could turn back the hands of time
I’d leave this broken ghost behind…

I’m holding out the last lantern in the dark
It’s flickering out, leaving only scars
The wind has won, the night has won, I’m standing here
With nothing left but love undone

The lantern dies, the lantern dies
Close my eyes…
