[Verse 1]
I wake where the black spans split
Four worlds pinned to my blade
I keep the watch till dawn gets sick
Till the last star learns my name
Steel in the hush of the vault
Cold on my left hand, cold
I guard the things you can touch
And the things you never hold
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the gates begin to shake
Night leans hard, but it won't take
All I am, all I keep
Burning over sleep
[Chorus]
Arc Angel, hold the line
Arc Angel, through the sky
Arc Angel, I won't fall
I stand for all you see (all you see)
Arc Angel, call my name
Arc Angel, stoke the flame
Arc Angel, break the dark
I keep the quartered spark (quartered spark)
[Verse 2]
I walk the seam of the spheres
Past iron moons and ash
One wing made of broken fear
One wing made to slash
When the shadow mouths your door
I come like a white-hot spear
Not for glory, not for war
Just to keep the waking near
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the gates begin to shake
Night leans hard, but it won't take
All I am, all I keep
Burning over sleep
[Chorus]
Arc Angel, hold the line
Arc Angel, through the sky
Arc Angel, I won't fall
I stand for all you see (all you see)
Arc Angel, call my name
Arc Angel, stoke the flame
Arc Angel, break the dark
I keep the quartered spark (quartered spark)
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
If the dawn comes late
I'll wear the bruise
If the heavens break
I'll be the fuse
Let the pillars bend
Let the thunder ring
I was forged in the edge
Of everything
[Final Chorus]
Arc Angel, hold the line
Arc Angel, through the sky
Arc Angel, I won't fall
I stand for all you see (all you see)
Arc Angel, call my name
Arc Angel, stoke the flame
Arc Angel, break the dark
I keep the quartered spark (quartered spark)
Arc Angel, hold the line
Arc Angel, through the sky
Arc Angel, I won't fall
I stand for all you see (all you see)
