[Verse 1]
Under the ash-tree gate
You met my midnight stare
Silver on your collarbone
Fangs in the cold air
My black lace on the stone
Your hands like winter fire
Two kingdoms held their breath
As the walls climbed higher
[Pre-Chorus]
But you said my name
Like a vow in the rain
And I saw the dawn
In your wild wolf flame
[Chorus]
We end this war tonight
We end this war tonight
Moon to my crown, moon to my crown
Love pulls the knives down
We end this war tonight
We end this war tonight
Hand in my hand now
Moon to my crown
[Verse 2]
The banners burned at dusk
The old blood on the field
I wore my longest grief
You wore your broken shield
Then you crossed that line
Where the thunder stood still
You took my darkened heart
And taught it how to heal
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the towers sing
With a softer sound
Every chain falls loose
When your arms come around
[Chorus]
We end this war tonight
We end this war tonight
Moon to my crown, moon to my crown
Love pulls the knives down
We end this war tonight
We end this war tonight
Hand in my hand now
Moon to my crown
[Bridge]
[Female]
Let the old drums die
Let the graveyards sleep
[Male]
I choose your name
Over blood and creed
[Both]
One kiss, one dawn
One oath, one home
The gates come down
We are not alone
[Final Chorus]
We end this war tonight
We end this war tonight
Moon to my crown, moon to my crown
Love pulls the knives down
We end this war tonight
We end this war tonight
Hand in my hand now
Moon to my crown
We end this war tonight
We end this war tonight
Two worlds, one love now
Moon to my crown
[Outro]
Moon to my crown
Moon to my crown
At last, at last
We live in the light
