A Fire on a Hill (Uncovered)

[Verse 1]

It starts with a spark

A breath and a moment of still

A flicker, a glow as the oxygen spills

Through a delta of spindles and stone

Kindled from nothing in a whisper of smoke

And there a gift ignites, a cursive thought takes flight

And there's a dancer twisting in between the spines

Give her the breather's kiss, and watch her spirit lift

She'll take over the stage and she'll own the night

[Pre-Chorus]

Learning how to make a name

From the words we can't keep in

Learning how to strike a flame

And draw her fire from nothing

[Chorus]

I don't know where to begin

To make these words take shape

How to nurture a flame

To raise it to a blaze

That on the clearest night can be seen forever

I don't know where to begin, or begin again

[Post-Chorus]

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]

It's not enough

'Cause outside the night is still cold

The fog is collected on the sill

Feed the house to the fire to let out the light

Consumed and inspired, burned magnesium white

Let it spill from the hearth, take the curtains

The carpet to fuel the insatiable fire inside

We'll set fire to a hill, so intense that it will be

The brightest star on this side of the sky

[Pre-Chorus]

Learning how to make a name

From the words we can't keep in

Learning how to strike a flame

And draw her fire from nothing

[Chorus]

I don't know where to begin

To make these words take shape

How to nurture a flame

To raise it to a blaze

That on the clearest night can be seen forever

I don't know where to begin, or begin again

[Post-Chorus]

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]

Ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah

Ah

Ah-ah-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

I don't know where to begin

To make these words take shape

How to nurture a flame

To raise it to a blaze

That on the clearest night can be seen forever

I don't know where to begin, or begin again

[Outro]

Ah (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Ah-ah-ah-ah (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Ah (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Ah (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Ah-ah-ah-ah (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
