[Verse]
The reeds bow low
They hum in the night
A croak
A call
A flickering light
The marsh it breathes
It shifts
It sways
A hidden world
A misty maze
[Chorus]
Marsh kings rise
Their crowns of bone
In waters deep
Their thrones unknown
Whispered steps on paths of stone
The marsh
The kings
They’re never alone
[Verse 2]
Frog songs weave through the glassy air
A harp string’s sigh
A snare brush’s care
Shadows dance where the moonlight breaks
The marsh kings stir
The silence shakes
[Bridge]
Trombones moan like the wind through trees
Contrabassoon groans in the midnight breeze
Flutes like whispers
A secret they keep
The marsh kings rule where the willows weep
[Chorus]
Marsh kings rise
Their crowns of bone
In waters deep
Their thrones unknown
Whispered steps on paths of stone
The marsh
The kings
They’re never alone
[Outro]
Low strings thrum as the night grows still
The glass harmonica sings its chill
A layered world
A soundscape wide
The marsh kings reign where dreams collide
