Lyrics
[Intro]
Ash on the red earth, rain on the tin
You call my name and the night lets you in
[Verse 1]
I tied my promise to a baobab root
Buried the silver and swallowed the truth
You came with a lantern, I came with a blade
Both of us knowing the price that we paid
[Pre-Chorus]
If you cross this river, don't turn around
The old drums are waking beneath the ground
[Chorus]
Come closer, come closer, don't fear the flame
The dark has a heartbeat, it answers your name
Come closer, come closer, let silence fall
I built this cathedral from bone and rainfall
[Verse 2]
Red clay beneath us, salt on your skin
The village is quiet, the fever begins
A black bird circles the roof of the shrine
You give me your sorrow, I give you mine
[Pre-Chorus]
If you cross this river, don't turn around
The old drums are waking beneath the ground
[Chorus]
Come closer, come closer, don't fear the flame
The dark has a heartbeat, it answers your name
Come closer, come closer, let silence fall
I built this cathedral from bone and rainfall
[Bridge]
No crown, no altar, no saint in the smoke
Just two steady hands and a promise we broke
Say it in the language the ancestors know
When the last bell trembles, we rise from below
[Final Chorus]
Come closer, come closer, don't fear the flame
The dark has a heartbeat, it answers your name
Come closer, come closer, let silence fall
I built this cathedral from bone and rainfall
[Outro]
Ash on the red earth, rain on the tin
You call my name and the night lets you in
