[Intro. Instrumental] Mmmmmmm mmmmmmm-hmmm-yeah I won't bow (I won't bow) I won't bow To a borrowed king (A borrowed king)- When a woman's hands (A woman's hands) Made the wells (Made the wells) Made the wells sing [Verse 1. Funky soul bassline] Let them paint the streets in green, Drowned by legend, lost in dream. But I walk where the embers glow, Silver fire, steady flow. [Pre-Chorus ] Not a sword, (not a throne), Just hands in the earth, (roots over stone). Not a crown, (not a creed), Just fire in the dark, (just what we need). [Chorus ] I won’t bow to a borrowed king (a borrowed king), When a woman's hands made the wells sing (made the wells sing), Not in halls of gold, but in fields of rye, Brigid’s name won’t fade, won’t die. [Post-chorus] I won't bow (I won't bow) To a borrowed king (To a borrowed king) It is for Brigid (For brigid) That I dream and sing (Dream and sing) [Instrumental break. Beat Drop] - - - [Verse 2 – sultry, hypnotic, slightly delayed delivery] They say he drove the snakes away, But who turned night into day? Who wove the rushes, fed the poor, Opened the gate, unlocked the door? [Pre-Chorus ] Not a sword, (not a throne), Just hands in the earth, (roots over stone). Not a crown, (not a creed), Just fire in the dark, (just what we need). [Chorus – heavier bassline, atmospheric vocal layers swell up] I won’t bow to a borrowed king (a borrowed king), When a woman's hands made the wells sing (made the wells sing), Not in halls of gold, but in fields of rye, Brigid’s name won’t fade, won’t die. [Post-chorus] I won't bow (I won't bow) To a borrowed king (To a borrowed king) It is for Brigid (For brigid) That I dream and sing (Dream and sing) [Instrumental break. Piano solo] - - - [Bridge – instrumental breakdown with eerie reversed vocal samples, deep bass swells] "Rushes weave, weave so tight…" "Threads of mercy, threads of might…" "Feed the hungry, heal the weak…" "She built a world where lost souls speak…" [Outro] So raise your glass, (but I will pray), Not to Patrick, (not today). Light a candle, (burn it bright), For Brigid walks this earth tonight (tonight). And I won't bow (I won't bow) I won't bow To a borrowed king When a woman's hands (A woman's hands) Made the wells (Made the wells) Made the wells sing [5 Second fade out] [End]
