Let the Bones Rest

[Intro / Whisper] The fire is low, The drum is still. The night exhales - I let go, I will. [Verse 1] I carried their names like stones in my chest, Dreamed of their shadows, laid them to rest. The river took whispers, the wind took cries, Now silence blooms where sorrow lies. [Chorus] Let the bones rest, let the bones sleep, What I have guarded is no longer mine to keep. Ash to the soil, blood to the deep - Let the bones rest, let the bones sleep. [Verse 2] I danced the ghosts until they turned to rain, They washed the salt, they eased the pain. I kissed the dust, I broke the chain, And felt my heart begin again. [Chorus] Let the bones rest, let the bones sleep, What I have carried, the earth will keep. The lie is gone, the truth runs free - Let the bones rest, let the bones sleep. [Bridge] I am no tomb, I am the seed, I am the breath that the lost ones need. Through me they rise, through me they fade, The circle closes - unafraid. [Final Chant / Outro] The fire is low, The heart still beats. I give them peace, And claim my peace. Let the bones rest… Let the bones rest.
