Questions In The Dark

[Intro] Feet on the red clay Breath in the cold air Salt on my torn lips Smoke in my hair [Verse 1] They circle the fire Ash on their faces Old words Low words Calling from the basement of the ages I feel them behind me Tongues like knives of glass Every name I ever carried Whispered as I pass [Chorus] Don’t answer the voices That are asking questions in the dark Let them fall like rain on stone Leave no mark Walk straight through the murmurs Through the rustling under bark Hold your drum beside your heart Don’t answer the voices in the dark [Verse 2] Sea-wind in my ears Still I hear that hum Ask me where I’m going Ask me what I’ll become Eyes closed I’m walking Over roots Over scars I count the beats Not the words I follow distant stars [Chorus] Don’t answer the voices That are asking questions in the dark Let them fall like rain on stone Leave no mark Walk straight through the murmurs Through the rustling under bark Hold your drum beside your heart Don’t answer the voices in the dark [Bridge] Call me Call me I will not turn Name me Claim me I let it burn [Chorus] Don’t answer the voices That are asking questions in the dark Let them fall like rain on stone Leave no mark Walk straight through the murmurs Through the rustling under bark Hold your drum beside your heart Don’t answer the voices in the dark
