Lyrics
The Last Remaining Light
(written by Chris Cornell)
Roll me on your frozen fields
Break my bones to watch them heal
Drowned me in your thirsty veins
Where I’ll watch and I’ll wait, and pray for the rain
Curl like smoke, and breathe again
Down your throat, inside your ribs
Through your spine, and every nerve
Where I watch, and I wait, and yield to the hurt
And if you don’t believe the sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night, in the last remaining light
The seven moons, and the seven suns
Heaven waits, for those who run down your winter, and underneath your waves
Where you watch and you wait, and pray for the day
And if you don’t believe the sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night, in the last remaining light
And if you don’t believe the sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night
In the last remaining light, light, light, light
