Bilingual
Shadows stretching across the cedar floor
Whispers rattling through the iron door
Spinning bodies in a dizzy haze
Cutting through the timber is our silent gaze
No empty chatter for the wind to steal
Just the steady hammering of the iron heel
Watch the strangers blur as the colors sway
Washing out the distance from a mile away
Gravity shifts as we pull the tide
Closing down the acres on the western side
Sparks kicking off from the heavy toe
Gather up the thunder and watch it go
Strike the kerosene on the burning pine
Drink the fever from the rhinestone shine
Hold the tempest when the earth awakes
Match my footsteps till the anchor breaks
Who steps down in this wildfire game
Two believers trapped in the dancing flame
(let's go)
Meeting squarely in the whirlwind eye
Not a single breath under the lantern sky
We are carving rivers on the splintered wood
Chasing down the storm where the mountains stood
You push the tempo as the tempo cries
Watching the surrender in each other's eyes
But morning comes hunting for the borrowed gold
Washing out the magic that we tried to hold
In this painted shelter under canvas heat
We burned our empires down in our feet
One final measure in the falling dark
Trading away the silence for the final spark
Just ashes settling down
Distant thunder fading out
Temporary fever in the smoke
Just a rusted echo
