Dune - Chani - Usul Is Silent

[Title: Oo-sool Is Silent] [Verse 1: fragile clean] They said thy breath had gone They said the water took thee They set their eyes upon me As though I carried judgment I came with dust upon my feet I came with thy name in my mouth Not Muad’Dib Not Mahdi Not the sign they kneel before Oo-sool Only Oo-sool [Pre-Chorus: voice shaking] Lie not so still Leave not thy flesh Make not a widow Of the desert [Chorus: belted, breaking] Oo-sool Answer me Break this silence with thy breath Oo-sool Come back through the poison Come back through the dark I have held my grief like water I have kept it in my breast But if thou art gone Let the whole desert hear me break [Verse 2: clean, darker] The Sayyadina whispered The old women watched Their hands were folded Their eyes were knives They spoke of change They spoke of vision They spoke as though love Were a lesser thing than prophecy But I knew thy hand I knew thy sleeping face I knew the boy beneath the names I knew the man beneath the storm Oo-sool My hidden one [Pre-Chorus: rising] Stir beneath my hand Burn beneath my tears Take breath from my breathing Take life from my fear [Chorus: screamed edges] Oo-sool Answer me Break this silence with thy breath Oo-sool Come back through the poison Come back through the dark I have held my grief like water I have kept it in my breast But if thou art gone Let the whole desert hear me break [Breakdown: harsh whisper into scream] Not their prophet Not their blade Not their banner Not their dream Mine Mine Mine Not the throne Not the jihad Not the future Not the knife Mine Mine Mine [Bridge: clean, devastated] I would curse the Maker I would empty every basin I would give my water to the sand If the sand would give thee back Beloved of the deep name Beloved of the quiet place If thy sight has taken thee from me Blind thyself and return [Final Chorus: full scream/belt] Oo-sool Answer me Break this silence with thy breath Oo-sool Come back through the poison Come back through the dark I have held my grief like water I have kept it in my breast But if thou art gone Let the whole desert hear me break [Outro: exhausted whisper] Oo-sool Only Oo-sool Not dead Not gone Not silent Breathe
