Lyrics
[Verse 1]
[F]
I tied my hair with ash and reed
Count the steps, keep the village clean
Hands in soil, eyes on the sign
Follow the path, the circles align
[M]
You call it prayer, I call it cage
A wolf still lives under your page
Break that law, let the blood run warm
Nature don’t kneel, it shapes the storm
[Verse 2]
[F]
I read the moss, I read the smoke
Every wild thing needs a spoke
Put down the blade, lift up the bowl
Order is the way I keep you whole
[M]
Whole is a word for a body asleep
I hear the briars where the roots run deep
Taste that dark, let it take your name
The woods don’t care who wears the blame
[Chorus]
[F]
Hold the line, hold the line
(hold the line)
Keep the old world set in time
(set in time)
[M]
Fall to the root, fall to the root
(fall to the root)
Hear the hunger tell the truth
(tell the truth)
[Verse 3]
[F]
At dawn I circle the marked-up stone
Leave no child to wander alone
Salt on the door, ash in the seam
Peace is a field that must be seen
[M]
At dusk I’m calling from the treeline
Mud on my boots and teeth like pine
You want a crown? Then wear the thorns
Let the thornsong split your forms
[Verse 4]
[F]
I know the flood, I know the fire
Still I choose the bridge, not the pyre
If you come close, I’ll name you dear
And guide your hand away from fear
[M]
Fear is a leash and I snap it fast
I make a feast from the broken past
Come on, let the old skin peel
Beneath the bark, that’s where you feel
[Chorus]
[F]
Hold the line, hold the line
(hold the line)
Keep the old world set in time
(set in time)
[M]
Fall to the root, fall to the root
(fall to the root)
Hear the hunger tell the truth
(tell the truth)
[Verse 5]
[F]
I place white chalk on the cabin floor
Nine small marks by the heavy door
If the night comes sharp and cold
I’ll still sing soft, I’ll still be bold
[M]
I hear your song in the blackened creek
Sweet like mercy, thin and weak
I’d rather drown in a living red
Than bow my head where the meek are led
[Verse 6]
[F]
You think the wild means losing ground
But even storms keep turning round
Piety lives in the hands that mend
Not every ending is a bend
[M]
And I think mercy’s a pretty lie
A fern don’t ask why it dies
Feed the shade and it feeds you back
One clean bite from the darkened pack
[Bridge]
[F]
If I am stone, I can still choose
If I am lost, I can still move
Name me the road, I’ll name the wrong
But I will sing the steadier song
[M]
If you are stone, then learn to crack
Let the buried moon split you back
I’m not your enemy, I’m your root
Take the thorn, take the fruit
[Chorus]
[F]
Hold the line, hold the line
(hold the line)
Keep the old world set in time
(set in time)
[M]
Fall to the root, fall to the root
(fall to the root)
Hear the hunger tell the truth
(tell the truth)
[Verse 7]
[F]
At the altar, I light the wax
Quiet hands and a careful back
When the crows lean in to see
I ask the dark to let us be
[Verse 8]
[M]
When the crows lean in, I grin right back
I walk the ditch where the swamps go black
You can wear your wreath and pray
I’ll be the thorn at the edge of day
