Beyond the Light

"Beyond the Light" is the third track on Land Shanties, released in partnership with Suzuki Australia in April 2021. The lyrics deal with the harrowing experience of running low on fuel.

==Lyrics==
Through the fear we push beyond
We take her to her limit
For the light upon the petrol gauge
Has been on for fifteen minutes
'Cause when the glow comes on and all
We're running on is trust
When they say you can't go on
Well that is when we must
Steel your nerve, have heart me crew
For the servo siren calls
Your courage shall be rewarded
With fuel and sausage rolls
{Chorus}
Hold steady, hold fast
We're running out of gas
Hold steady, hold fast
Have courage we will last
Although we ne'er have said a word
For you are forged of iron
But here we are in the crimson realm
Let's pray your gauge is lying
For we have drained the tank before
A-stranded on the Hume
But to be fair that was my fault
We pushed too far on fumes
As we march beyond the light
I feel no greater thrill
This, I vow to you my sweet:
Your heart will get its fill
{Chorus 2x}
I know I ask a lot of you
But you ask nothing of me
We can go the distance
With your first-class fuel economy
The lady of the map
She tells of a station up ahead
In twenty klicks, you can be sure
I'll get you washed and fed
With hope and valour, grill to boot
We execute the plan
It's only when we're told we can't
We truly prove we can
{Chorus 2x}
