Testo The ascent Caligula'S Horse

The ascent

This is the way that we hand control to gravity’s grip
The way that it goes
Before we can rise we must be laid low

Bloodied, alive, I make it to my knees
Only to pray they won’t forgetàme
Castàto'the ground when?
I reached for'the war

So climb

Rise in the rot and set the pace to stay
The heart is the way where the markers were laid
Higher again until we’re leaving our own

We climb

The fight and the form
The ever forward, mine
Boot to the hold
One tread at a time
Hand over hand
The path as it winds

So climb

So rise radiant
You are the way
You were born to the ascent
So rise, my radiant
With my pride, bear your heart into the end of me
There is no death
I am with you, my darling
If I am breathing through you
Death only is to wake
With the face of our fathers below
And no fear to follow the way forward
Love

There is no pride
I am with you, my darling
This is your time
And so into your hands I leave all that I could not reach
You are the worlds colliding
The sail unfurls
We have all been building worlds

Forward
Like loss could colour cloud and distance edify
A farewell to sunrise
The decaying heartbeat of the sky
So as the hills drink deep
We watch survivors trace their old calligraphy in light

Forward
With all I took with me
A spite of my design
Too long the lesson
All it took to leave my hate to lie
What a privilege it is to watch the day’s last colour die
Teaching us to climb
Forward now
Through

And into your hands I leave all that I could not reach
You are the worlds colliding
We built a world
Your sails unfurled
Forward now
Through
The way is forward
The fall will take form into ascent
You are the sun
Rise radiant
Become the light alive
The fight and the climb
The strife, the day
We are the sun
Rise radiant
My love the way forward
The fall will take form into ascent
You are the sun
Rise radiant
Become the light alive
The fight and the climb
The strife, the day
We are the sun
Rise radiant, my love
