[Verse 1]
This is a hammer
This is a hymn
This is a match to a ball of lies
This is the blade
This is the beauty
These are the stars raining down from the sky
[Chorus]
This is the light that shines
And I can see the pines are dancing
This is the leaving of another love
This is the howling at the moon
These are the arms you fell into
I am a fire, and I must burn today
[Verse 2]
This is an echo
This is the Glory
This is the pounding of a midnight heart
This is the mountains
This is the lightning
This is the man pulling on his iron chains
[Chorus]
This is the light that shines
And I can see the pines are dancing
This is the leaving of another love
This is the howling at the moon
These are the arms you fell into
I am a fire, and I must burn today
