Lisurgen
Mother comes and calls me home, home again
I burn within her, I sway to please her
Defiant land I call mine own, pull me in
She loves me wholly, she breaks me only
Deep into that bitter well, pull me in
So raw and slowly, I’m carnal only
That I might rise from the dust again
Drift asunder from the whole to the part again
She scolds me boldly and I ache so coldly
Breathe into this here and now that I’ve come upon
She tastes me slowly and I’m carnal only
That I might reach into the sun, breathe into the one, breathe ‘til breaths are one
Come back home again
Time burns, humours fray
Steals my breath away
How can I do all of this
Why should I do all of this
You teach so slow, how am I supposed to know
That you love me wholly, that you break me only
Taste me slowly, I’m carnal only
That I might burn across the sun, fall as only dust, breathe into the one, come back home again
The Seed
Through the seed, there lies the only
Clemency, my blood beyond repair
Could it be. The eyes you’ve shown me,
To see, cross we have to bear
When I’m freed, I’ll be too lonely
Too weak, shackle all my heirs
You my seed, I love you only
You bleed, but daddy’s coming home
You to me, I’ll own this solely
To be, silent and whole
Never free, but never lonely
Concede, circle coming home
(Chorus)
Cos’ I’m callin, I’m pleading
My will is overrun
I’m watching, I’m Bleeding
The Circle carries on
In spite of, all my love, I gave you everything I’d ever need
You showed me every broken thing, and as the circle turns
See it coming back again
Through the seed, there lies the only
Clemency, my blood beyond repair
Could it be. The eyes you’ve shown me,
To see, the cross we have to bear
Through the seed
(Bridge/Refrain)
Calling, pleading, watch you bleeding
Treading, water, the sea she pulls me under
My maker, father, self to die for other
Callin, pleading, watch me bleeding
Elders
The Silent air, The burning earth
The mother’s hand, restless inside
The warrior’s dance, as always was
The body’s call, restless inside
Of older sounds and keener sights
Of beating hearts, restless inside
The silent air, the burning earth
The mother’s hand, restless inside
Every time I hear the silence
Every time I hear the elders’ tongue
Every movement of the serpent
And the breathing of the jilted earth
Only the truth will remain
Only the sea will remain
Only her heart will remain
Sky
I could swear the sky was dancing
As rivers flooded over me
Been tryna hold this river for far too long
Letting go the flood makes me bleed
The whole man calls to the weary man
Can’t you see you’re only weary from sleep
Been tryna hold these parables on my breath
Pulling closer to every piece
To be tidal and move with the wind again
Feel the rhythm in everything
Cos I’m home but not citizen
High-falling back again
Alive-in the little things
Alive in the little things
I could swear the sky was dancing
As rivers flooded over me
I’ve been lying for far too long
I’ve been lonely, weak
I’ve been hiding from my pain
Killing to be free
Been tryna hold these parables on my breath
Pulling closer to every piece
To be tidal and move with the wind again
Feel the rhythm in everything
Because I’ve got to go and I may not make it home
Because I’ve got to stand in awe at the gate of the womb
Because I’ve got to see the void and take my soul
Because I’ve got to see the void and carry on
Last Song (Keep Burning)
Break, little wave
Take your pain
Hold it gently
Let it move you
Through the fray
Day smiles so tenderly
Then slips away, back to black
Pulls you down again
Through the storm again
(Chorus)
Keep burning that wild flame
Move slowly through the fray
I’ll hold you
Fate pulls so violently
Like before, like each time around
Pulls us down again
Through the storm again
(Outro)
Hold on to the fray
Burn another day
Love is deathless
Love is boundless
