The Stone Remembers (Remastered)

[Verse 1] Kezia walks the salt road with a map in her hands Every tower name she calls falls quiet in the sand Rika, my small fire where did you learn to run? The wind keeps your name like a prayer on her tongue [Pre-Chorus] Two fronts in the dust and the sky turns steel Still I hold your face like a wound I can heal If the dark comes close if the night takes form I will stand in the gates I will keep you warm [Chorus] Kezia, Kezia call her home Rika, Rika come back home (come back home) Mother heart won’t let go Stone remembers what we know [Verse 2] The scouts burn through dawn with their lanterns low She reads every track like a river of bones A queen with a bruise under saffron skin A love so immense it can split the stone within [Pre-Chorus] Two fronts in the dust and the sky turns steel Still I hold your face like a wound I can heal If the dark comes close if the night takes form I will stand in the gates I will keep you warm [Chorus] Kezia, Kezia call her home Rika, Rika come back home (come back home) Mother heart won’t let go Stone remembers what we know [Bridge] And if she is hiding behind fear’s veil I will not command her I will follow her trail I was once a daughter I was once new Now I carry the years and I carry the you [Breakdown] [Female Chorus] Oh, Kezia oh, Rika Oh, Kezia oh, Rika (hear me) In the well of the world in the hush of the sand Love is a lantern held in one hand [Final Chorus] Kezia, Kezia call her home Rika, Rika come back home (come back home) Mother heart won’t let go Stone remembers what we know Kezia, Kezia rise in gold Rika, Rika you are found (you are found) Through the smoke through the fall Hope still stands above it all [Outro] Crystal echoes on the air Rika, Rika, you are there Kezia breathes and lifts her chin Love returns, and dawn begins (returns) (you are found)
