Lyrics

ANCESTOR DANCE

Charcoal in a pit by you
Remnants of the morning
Sacrific’d the soul we did too
For our fickle yearnings
Born on gilded wings as in a trance
And you cry
Now I watch my ancestors dance
As I fly

Fire into the sky this night
Sparks into the ether
Firmament it sucks the light
Like some wicked creature
Constellations wheel now ever slow
Are you there?
The errant star that slides from pole to pole
And you stare

Born on gilded wings as in a trance
This thing
Now I watch my ancestors dance
And I sing
