Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Deep in the darkwood
There’s a crooked stone gate
Vines in the letters
Moss on the name
Lanterns in the branches
Swing like slow hearts
Your laugh in the shadows
Pulling me apart
Green hair tangled
Burrs in your braid
Heir to the wild
Mud on your face
Tea on the fire
Scars on your knees
You said
“This is Vayler
Where we love like we breathe”
[Chorus]
Welcome to Vayler
Duchy in the trees
Every path a story
Every bruise a piece of me
House of the serpents
Coiled on the door
But their arms are open
I’m not afraid anymore
Snakes on the banner
Fangs on the crest
Yet the hugs hit softer than any silk dress
Here in Vayler
Wild and kind and free
You wrapped your forest heart around me
[Verse 2]
We ran through the ruins where your grandmothers danced
You swore the old paintings still glance as we passed
You fed crumbs to crows on your window ledge
Swore they kept the secrets buried in the hedge
Your uncle telling legends with bark on his hands
Your sister braiding flowers into battle plans
You traced the sigil on the inside of my wrist
Said
“We’re born looking dangerous
But we live to resist” (oh)
[Chorus]
Welcome to Vayler
Duchy in the trees
Every path a story
Every bruise a piece of me
House of the serpents
Coiled on the door
But their arms are open
I’m not afraid anymore
Snakes on the banner
Fangs on the crest
Yet the hugs hit softer than any silk dress
Here in Vayler
Wild and kind and free
You wrapped your forest heart around me
[Bridge]
I used to think sharp teeth meant run
Till your mother set a place
Called me “child
” called me “love”
And your father by the fire said
“The world misreads our skin
They see the scales on the outside
Miss the warmth within”
[Chorus]
Welcome to Vayler
Duchy in the trees
Every path a story
Every bruise a piece of me
House of the serpents
Coiled on the door
But their arms are open
I’m not afraid anymore
Snakes on the banner
Fangs on the crest
Yet the hugs hit softer than any silk dress
Here in Vayler
Wild and kind and free
You wrapped your forest heart around me (around me)
[Outro]
If I ever leave
Let the brambles remember
How a stranger came shaking
Left soft as the heather
Paint my name in green in your old family hall
Where the warm little serpents watch over us all
