Instrumental Intro

Verse 1: Male

Beyond the cedar, past the snow,

A bronze wing stirs the clouds below.

You hold the lantern, steady, near;

I hear the mountain answer clear.

Verse 2: Female

I bring the rose from sheltered ground,

Its red against the frost profound.

Your hand is warm; the night is wide,

We meet where old and brave abide.

Chorus: Duet

Stay beside me, heart to heart,

Through the hush before the start.

If the ancient heights awake,

We will face the dawn we make.
