Bonfire (A Rest)

[Verse 1]
I felt my bones shiver
Across rifts of time
I saw ghosts in the mist
And their faces like mine
Then I looked to the footsteps
And gazed on a sign
That said "call my name
I'll join in the fight"
Broken and withered
We will rise again
My brothers and sisters
In death we are friends
Incandescent together
A slow fading light
The efforts cascading
Our time is tonight

[Chorus]
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest

[Verse 2]
Old friends and rivals
We sit by the flame
To share in the moment
Before we can claim
Our own destiny's purpose
In each of our homes
We've all got our battles
But no one's alone
Nameless and searching
The light keeps us warm
In need and in danger
It guides through the storm
As we share in a question
Will we meet again?
To sing by the embers
And brace for the end

[Chorus]
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest

[Verse 3]
Undying forever
Through war and dark weather
Binding to search for a light
Some lit by grace or by embers
We're searching together
Starved for that break from the fight
Swords losing sharpness
To angels and darkness
These soldiers push on through the mire
Now we're all faced with the ending
The burn before mending
A vision to let there be fire

[Chorus]
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest
