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

Pop with somber female lead and energetic dark rap male counterpoint; midtempo, swung drums, tense synth pulses, and a ritual-like groove. Verse sections trade between close-mic female restraint and clipped male rap bars, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies, and the chorus opens into a chantable pop lift. Doubled hooks, whispered ad-libs, delay throws on key lines, reversed swells into each chorus, and a glossy-but-shadowed mix, male vocals, female vocals, pop, rap, somber
