[Verse 1] The bog is heavy with a silver mist A ancient rhythm in the muddy ground A thousand promises I couldn't resist Are calling out without a single sound [Pre-Chorus] The ghost-light flickers in the damp and dark The cold air catches on a sudden spark [Chorus] Carry my heart across the peat Where the river and the darkness meet Sing to the stone, sing to the sky Watch the old world passing by Carry my heart across the peat [Verse 2] I walk the border where the heather dies And hear the whispering beneath the grass A ancient shadow in my sister's eyes Watching the golden generations pass [Pre-Chorus] The ghost-light flickers in the damp and dark The cold air catches on a sudden spark [Chorus] Carry my heart across the peat Where the river and the darkness meet Sing to the stone, sing to the sky Watch the old world passing by Carry my heart across the peat [Bridge] My grandmother told me the roots run deep Way down below where the ancestors sleep You can trap the sound, you can bend the wire But you can't extinguish a holy fire [Outro] Across the peat Sing to the stone We walk alone
