Golden Thread Incantation

Lyrics

Intro
[candles crackle
Soft percussion enters]
Circle drawn in dust and wine
Name on my tongue
Breath like smoke on the ceiling
I call
And it comes

Verse 1
Gold in my palm
But it’s only my hand
I murmur your symbols
Let them understand
“Silver rivers
Flow to me
Pay every promise
Set my work free”

Friends at my doorway
Laugh in the rain
“Call my true people
By joy
Not by pain”
Drums in the distance
Footsteps in sync
Strangers turn family
In one slow blink

Chorus
By root and rose
By blood and sea
All that I am
All meant for me
Money
Friends
And love draw near
Good luck walk beside me
Here
Fame
Respect
Bright eyes on me
Clarity and sweet bravery
So I say
So it be

Verse 2
Dark little mirror
Tell me my name
Strip off the shivers
The doubt and the shame
“Confidence
Rise
Like a sun in my chest
Let my voice steady
My hands know the rest”

Love like a lantern
Hung over my door
“Only the honest
Only the pure”
Soft velvet glances
Brush against skin
Hearts that are ready
Find their way in

Chorus
By root and rose
By blood and sea
All that I am
All meant for me
Money
Friends
And love draw near
Good luck walk beside me
Here
Fame
Respect
Bright eyes on me
Clarity and sweet bravery
So I say
So it be

Bridge
handclaps and low chant build
Ash to sky
Sky to bone (hey)
I call the path I walk as home
Name by name
And thread by thread
I bless the living
Charm the dead
My fear unmade
My heart tuned true
What I send out
Returns in bloom (oh)

Chorus
By root and rose
By blood and sea
All that I am
All meant for me
Money
Friends
And love draw near
Good luck walk beside me
Here
Fame
Respect
Bright eyes on me
Clarity and sweet bravery
So I say
So it be

Outro
candles gutter; bass softens
Circle fades back into ground
But my wish stays bright
I walk out carrying
My own green light
