The Atlantic by This Glass Embrace Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Our love is not the stars, nothing so fragile
It is not the Earth, to break so easily
Though the Atlantic lines its floors with sunken vessels
Even it knows there are some things vaster than the deep

[Chorus]
So don’t be afraid
My love, just stay
There could be nothing more than this
And you are safe now… you’re safe
Don’t be afraid
Why should we fear?
Let the world wear down its weapons on our gates
They’ll never reach us here

[Verse 2]
Our love is not the walls of Troy, so meager
That held an army’s wrath at bay a mere ten years
It is written in a word older than language
It will endure beyond the breaking of all things
[Chorus]
So don’t be afraid
My love, just stay
There could be nothing more than this
And you are safe now… you’re safe
Don’t be afraid
Why should we fear?
Let the world wear down its weapons on our gates
They’ll never reach us here

[Bridge]
So sing of joy, sing of redemption
But let these songs of worry falter on our lips
The night will end, the sun is rising
And I won’t let go, however long it takes

[Chorus]
So don’t be afraid
My love, just stay
There could be nothing more than this
And you are safe
Don’t be afraid
Why should we fear?
Let the world wear down its weapons on our gates
They’ll never reach us here
