lyrics

A hand at dark
Reaches for my heart
To pull me in
But man, I will not give
To the roaring flame
Dancing high above our graves
Or to the royal blood
Of the ghost of God above.

A silver moon
Pulls your tides into
The island’s eye
But no, I will not climb
Up that mountain
Just to fire an arrow in the sun
Or to the water’s edge
Of an island.

A secret hymn
Your voice on the wind
Is in my head
But I will not depend
On a ferocious king
Inside the cloud of unknowing
Or on my trembling hands
For an arrow in the sun again.
