Glowing Sea Oath

[Verse 1]
In the hall of the Commonwealth
they nailed the doors shut tight
Something moved in the bad dark
and breathed through the night

The brave one stood in velvet
with the seal upon his chest
Then he left that polished mirror
and chose the iron vest

[Pre-Chorus]
He heard the bone wind calling
from the poison on the sand
He said, "If it wants my people
it has to take my hand"

[Chorus]
Glowing Sea, take me in
Glowing Sea, let the brave begin
Wendigo, show your teeth
I came for the fear beneath
Glowing Sea, hear my vow
Not one step back, not even now
(Glowing Sea)
(Not even now)

[Verse 2]
The suit turned into thunder
as the seals began to hiss
Every bolt became a promise
every step a sharpened fist

Past the melted homes and bones
past the ash and shattered rock
He saw the nightmare pacing
like a chain around the dock

[Pre-Chorus]
It had antlers made of hunger
it had eyes of buried coal
But the man inside the armor
kept his grip and kept his soul

[Chorus]
Glowing Sea, take me in
Glowing Sea, let the brave begin
Wendigo, show your teeth
I came for the fear beneath
Glowing Sea, hear my vow
Not one step back, not even now
(Glowing Sea)
(Not even now)

[Bridge]
Then the beast came rushing near
through the dust and bitter glow
Like a storm made out of malice
with a mouth of stolen snow

He stood his ground and shouted
to the dead land, to the sky
"Commonwealth, I’m still your shield"
and the dark had to reply

[Final Chorus]
Glowing Sea, take me in
Glowing Sea, let the brave begin
Wendigo, show your teeth
I came for the fear beneath
Glowing Sea, hear my vow
Not one step back, not even now
Glowing Sea, break the chain
Let the dawn come back again
(Glowing Sea)
(Again)
