[Intro]
Ash on the table, salt by the door
A crooked bell counts four, then four
Your left hand trembles, your right hand knows
The candle bends where the cold wind goes
[Verse 1]
You drew a circle with a kitchen knife
Marked every corner with a borrowed life
The old floorboards learned your secret step
One heel down, one breath held back, no regret
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t speak the name beneath the tongue
Don’t break the thread when the song’s begun
[Chorus]
Encanto Enchantus, turn with the flame
Eerie dancing, nobody stays the same
Encanto Enchantus, heel to the stone
Call what you buried and bring it home
[Verse 2]
A blue note crawls from the radio wire
Your black coat hangs beside the fire
You smile like thunder behind a veil
While seven locked windows rattle their nails
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t look away when the doorway sighs
Don’t trust the face in the mirror’s eyes
[Chorus]
Encanto Enchantus, turn with the flame
Eerie dancing, nobody stays the same
Encanto Enchantus, heel to the stone
Call what you buried and bring it home
[Bridge]
Majik in the marrow, iron in the rain
Round and round the room til the blood remembers pain
No priest, no witness, no morning bell
Just your bare feet ringing in the mouth of hell
[Breakdown]
Step left
Hold still
Step right
Bend will
The floor gives way
The walls lean in
You start the rite
I count to ten
[Final Chorus]
Encanto Enchantus, turn with the flame
Eerie dancing, nobody stays the same
Encanto Enchantus, heel to the stone
Call what you buried and bring it home
Encanto Enchantus, low voices rise
The room wears your face, the room wears your eyes
Encanto Enchantus, the circle is closed
You came here alone, but you won’t leave alone
[Outro]
Ash on the table, salt by the door
The crooked bell counts one time more
Your left hand trembles, your right hand knows
The candle bends—and the black wind blows
