lyrics

A Darker Spell

Oh my heart all black with coal
Feel it pound, feel it soar
Up to where the dark birds fly
Hear its song, see it shine.

Every whisper every word
Sing together raise the moon.

Shadows lean until they fall
Darkness climbs sound and tall
Up to where the stars all bright
Blink and yawn, wink and sigh.

Every splinter every root
Burn together raise the moon.

So I sleep a darker spell
Crescent light soft and pale
Should I rise with soil in hand
Litter my bones salt the land.

Every finger every hook
Lift together raise the moon.
