Threefold Waves

Lyrics

Verse 1
At the edge of the winter sea
Three sisters walked through sleet and dream
One wore wisdom like moonlit frost
One knew the deep where names are lost
One came blazing through the pine
With lion heart and elder fire
They crossed the root and crossed the stone
To make the shattered world their own

Pre-Chorus
In the hall of ash and silver rain
They called the winds to speak again
Three old powers in one breath
Binding truth through life and death

Chorus
We are the weave we are the wave
We are the vow that will not cave
We are the flame in winters grip
We are the hand the knife the ship
Threefold crown and threefold sound
Stone to sky and root to ground
From dark to dawn from wolf to star
One becomes what all things are

Verse 2
One was keeper of the well
One knew the runes no tongue could tell
One rode through fire with a gold mane bright
Turning fear into sacred light
They gathered storm and root and bone
And made the broken whole again
Where river meets the standing stone
A new law rose from blood and snow

Pre-Chorus
Not to rule not to devour
But to guard the hour by hour
To hold the wild to heal the wound
And steady the turning moon

Chorus
We are the weave we are the wave
We are the vow that will not cave
We are the flame in winters grip
We are the hand the knife the ship
Threefold crown and threefold sound
Stone to sky and root to ground
From dark to dawn from wolf to star
One becomes what all things are

Bridge
Ash and antler
Root and rain
Runes awaken
Bone and flame
Three in silence
Three in song
All who break
Are made made strong

Chorus
We are the weave we are the wave
We are the vow that will not cave
We are the flame in winters grip
We are the hand the knife the ship
Threefold crown and threefold sound
Stone to sky and root to ground
From dark to dawn from wolf to star
One becomes what all things are

Outro
Hush now hearth now
Moon and pine
Three old powers
One bright line
The world mended
Thread by thread
The living sing
The lost are led

(One last clear sharp indrawn breath into absolute silence)
