[Verse 1] In the dark, I ate the light And the room turned cedar-bright Saw a garden, saw a snake Saw the whole world start to shake Dust to skin and breath to flame Every leaf knew my name One red fruit, one open door And I fell through the floor [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the pattern in the bark Oh, the river in the spark Every line began to breathe Every seed learned how to speak [Chorus] Spore and glory, spore and glory (Spore and glory) The old book opened up for me Spore and glory, spore and glory (Spore and glory) I saw the hidden history [Verse 2] A flood came rolling over bone A dove circled the stone One man sailed on splintered wood While the sky went amber-glued A bush burned blue in the night And the ash turned into light Sea split wide like a prayer I walked barefoot through the air [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the pages folded in Oh, the walls became the skin Manna falling from the sky Little stars you could not deny [Chorus] Spore and glory, spore and glory (Spore and glory) The old book opened up for me Spore and glory, spore and glory (Spore and glory) I saw the hidden history [Bridge] Kings fell like broken teeth Crowns dissolved beneath my feet Then a child with a bruised-up hand Drew a circle in the sand Love came back with a scarred white face Said, "The lost can find their place" I woke up with my eyes still wide And a thousand suns inside [Chorus] Spore and glory, spore and glory (Spore and glory) The old book opened up for me Spore and glory, spore and glory (Spore and glory) I saw the hidden history
