Throat of Thunder

[low vocal register]Old stone breath

Cold earth drum

Sky so wide

Lungs go numb

Ash on the wind

Dust on my tongue

Hear that growl

Older than lungs

Boots in the mud

Heartbeat slow

Smoke in my chest

Let the bass roll low

Throat of thunder

Shake the mountain down

Deep like winter

Rattle through the ground

My voice breaks open

World turns inside out

Throat of thunder

Hear that silent shout

Jawbone trembling

Ribs like strings

One long echo

Through metal and skin

Teeth taste copper

Air turns thick

Spirit of the steppe

Rides the drop

Hits quick

[whispered vocals]Breathe in gravel

Breathe out storm

[bass swells

Half-time drums slam]

Let the old chant
