Last Words

Hold me to this
If I ever should give an inch
I won’t deserve who I was

Hold me to this
If I ever should miss a chance
To give my all
I’ll never know all we could be

We know what we are
But not what we might be
Hold me to this

Say your last words now
It’s later than you think
Don’t lock your tongue
Behind your teeth
Inside your jaw
For good
Don’t hope for redemption
Don’t wait for the moment, it’s already gone
Don’t pray for salvation
It’s here—or else never at all—
Within us

Hold me to this:
Dawn may never come, but there will be
A light in me
Hold me through this
Day may never break, but break it must
Inside of us

Inside us

If that’s all the light we’ll ever see 
If that’s all the light there’ll ever be
Shine bright
Burn brightly

If it’s come to this
I’m prepared to fight
Just give me some time to find the others
But if there’s no more time
And I’m the last one left
And there will be no respite
For dreamers tonight

Then I’m ready
I’m ready

Settle my debts
I’m ready
Steel my soul
I’m ready

Forward
Into the fight

Onward
Into the night
