Light Beneath the Snow

[Verse 1]
The pines are black against the grey
The frozen river keeps its breath
I gather what the dark has taken
And walk the narrow road of rest

[Chorus]
Let the dark not be a prison
But a room where embers wake
I will hold this narrow flame
Until a better morning breaks

[Verse 2]
The old house settles in the cold
A violin hums behind the wall
I keep the letters left untold
And set a lamp against the fall

[Chorus]
Let the dark not be a prison
But a room where embers wake
I will hold this narrow flame
Until a better morning breaks

[Bridge]
When the ice begins to whisper
And the thaw climbs through the stone
Every winter learns to splinter
Into seeds that find their own

[Final Chorus]
Let the dark not be a prison
But a room where embers wake
I will hold this narrow flame
Until a better morning breaks
Until a better morning breaks
