Aviators
Bonfire (A Rest)
[Verse 1]
I felt my bones shiver across rifts of time
I saw ghosts in the mist and their faces like mine
And I looked to the footsteps, and gazed on a sign
That said "Call my name, I'll join in the fight"
Broken and withered, we will rise again
My brothers and sisters, in death, we are friends
Incandescent together, a slow fading light
The efforts cascading, our time is tonight

[Chorus]
Fractured and feeble, ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen, but new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest

[Verse 2]
Old friends and rivals, we sit by the flame
To share in the moment before we can claim
Our own destiny's purpose in each of our homes
We've all got our battles, but no one's alone
Nameless and searching, the light keeps us warm
In need and in danger, it guides through the storm
As we share in a question, will we meet again?
To sing by the embers and brace for the end
[Chorus]
Fractured and feeble, irdinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen, but new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest

[Bridge]
Undying forever
Through war and dark weather
Binding to search for a light
Some lit by grace, or by embers
We're searching together
Starved for that break from the fight
Swords losing sharpness
To angels and darkness
These soldiers push on through the mire
Now we're all faced with the ending
The burn before mending
A vision to let there be fire

[Chorus]
Fractured and feeble, ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen, but new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest
