The Last Compass

When the velvet night descends;

And the shadows claim the land;

With a ghost of a moon as our only guide;

No, I'll harbor no cold fear;

No, I won't shed a single tear;

Just as long as you're anchored right here by my side;

So, darling, darling, stand by me;

Oh, oh, be my gravity;

Stand now, stand by me;

Stand by me;

If the ceiling of the world;

Should fracture and ignite;

Or the mountains surrender to the tide;

I won't falter, I won't bow;

I'll keep my soul and vow;

Just as long as you're standing right here by my side;

When the daylight fades to black;

And there is no turning back;

With the pale silver moon as our final spark;

I won't tremble in the soul;

I will keep my heart whole;

Long as you are my compass out here in the dark;

So, darling, darling;

Stand by me;

Oh, hold the line for me;

Oh, stand now;

Stand by me, stand by me;

If the heavens we've been promised should crumble into dust;

And the iron summits rust into the sea;

I'll stand steady, I'll stand tall;

Through the ruin of it all;

Long as you were the shadow standing next to me;
