Lyrics for A Dawning by Ólafur Arnalds & Talos
Under a broken moon we regaled what was
I watched the swallows bloom into a cloud of dust
O'brother come be my keeper, hold me dear
Don't let the wreckage call what the wreckage wants
Now lets just ride on highs while the moment is right
No, don't you fold my wings for the fear of flight
In your eyes
You curled up gods while I pondered death
It feels like this war is our dawning
Don't let that light outrun us yet
It feels like this war is our dawning
Waking up to find a forest
Summon your sight to get us now
Breaching out, define me lawless
Summon the fight to get us out
When all the world rained down on our safety's hood
It left me lying out with a pale of blood
O'brother come be my keeper, hold me dear
I'll let the winter start when I say I've stood
For us
You curled up gods while I pondered death
It feels like this war is our dawning
Don't let that light outrun us yet
It feels like this war is our dawning
Waking up to find a forest
Summon your sight to get us now
Breaching out, define me lawless
Summon the fight to get us out
Forcing out a furnace
Find the reach and want it
Out in front I see a light
Forcing out a furnace
Find the reach and hold it
All it takes to be alive
You curled up gods while I pondered death
It feels like this war is our dawning
Don't let that light outrun us yet
It feels like this war is our dawning
