about

Another Fringe Division song. I always thought this had a great 'last song' vibe + when we were near the end of the process of putting The Great Destroyer together I had the idea to have this as the closer. The glimmer of North Star.

I asked Dave what he thought + he laid down the keyboard parts. The vocal was recorded in a single take.

lyrics

take me on
lead me on
you fit in this screen like the smallest russian doll
all for one
one for all
i sit atop this pillar
embracing the fall

we will be okay through this wind and rain
we will be okay… rising once again
we’ll be just fine on this long road
we’ll be okay

break my heart
break my bones
take my soul in your hands and sell it on
take me on
lead me on
in my mind is a place.
a rock i could climb.

we will be okay through this wind and rain
we will be okay… rising once again
we’ll be just fine on this long road
we’ll be okay

take me on
lead me on
i will break this fall with the shake of a magic wand
