[Verse 1] I rise from the river With reeds in my hair The mud on my ankles The moon in my stare I know every wound That a mother can keep I stitch up the broken I walk in your sleep [Pre-Chorus] Call my name softly At the edge of your fear I gather the pieces I pull them near [Chorus] I am Isis I am the thread I am the breath That warms your bed I am Isis I make you whole I carry the fire Back to your soul [Verse 2] My hands held the fragments Of a kingdom in dust I found what was vanished And turned loss into trust I stood by the coffin I stood by the shore When your voice was shattered I sang it once more [Pre-Chorus] Call my name softly When the dark comes down I wear your sorrow Like a crown [Chorus] I am Isis I am the thread I am the breath That warms your bed I am Isis I make you whole I carry the fire Back to your soul [Bridge] I am the veil I am the vow I am the now And the after From broken bone To blooming wheat From grief to gold I make it sweeter [Final Chorus] I am Isis I am the thread I am the breath That warms your bed I am Isis I make you whole I carry the fire Back to your soul I am Isis Don’t let me fade I am the hands That learn your name
