Lyrics North Star - Hit the Switch

North Star

Drifting through the marsh
We made it just outside the bend
No one had sought the cost
We all lost in the end
And when the harsh and bitter cold
Struck down the last of our lone wolves
We painted black our faces
With their blood and ashes
Then we stoked the flames and rode the wind
Bogged down by the waves
We spotted hope in that old lighthouse in the dark
But it’s too late
We’re not whole
We’re not welcome anymore
And never the same
We’re still battling our old ways
A peace made with a man and his disease
He saw their pain
And he couldn’t help but feel the connection
The realization all this was for him
Now he drops to his knees and asks again
We burn the woods
To learn the worst
It hurts
But still we can’t give in
It can’t be fate
It can’t be moved
Get over it
Just move along and don’t look down
Just keep yourself alive
You’re up and moving down the road
But still can’t find those hidden stones
No I can’t do this on my own
'cause I need you to bring me home
All night burns
The most of all the worst
And best have got a lot to live
But they have graves
So tell me not
Of the tales that strike our fears
They can disappear
'cause I’m still battling my old ways
