[Sound of dripping water] [Distant birdsong] [Tribal percussion — frame drums, urgent] [Bass line enters — post-punk, prowling] [Female vocal — not delicate, commanding] Ath'velorí! Ath'velorí! Dinno iesa — chéscsca iesa Ath'velorí! Ath'velorí! Le ieglii ce oscobre [Drums intensify] The stones remember hands The stones remember skin Neth'irimë syl a'diel The ruins let me in [Darkwave guitar and duduk clashing] Ami — ami — ami Bela fo chéscsca iespe Ami — ami — ami Ve bela ce ve bela [Chorus — full force, tribal and darkwave fused] Scu ieglii iesa ventro tove Scu ieglii iesa niélte ve A thousand years of watching And still they want to see Ath'velorí! Ath'velorí! The ruins are not dead Ath'velorí! Ath'velorí! They're hungry to be fed [Bridge — the percussion drops to hang drum alone, intimate] Po ciédie ve bela [Breath] Po strindo ve strindo [Breath] Ve ce addo pu emoro For what she does to me [Drums crash back — the final chorus doubled] Ami — ami — ami Naked in the ancient mouth Ami — ami — ami The stones remember south Ath'velorí! Ath'velorí! Dinno iesa — le ce oscobre Ath'velorí! [Bass line alone — prowling out — the ruins
