「Wind Is My Marrow」
[Intro] [Verse 1] The sun has claimed the marrow from my bones A furnace built from light and heat alone My throat — a riverbed of cracking clay The thirst arrives and never goes away No water left within this dying frame The wind alone will call me by my name It moves through me — replacing what I lost My blood evaporates — this is the cost [Pre-Chorus] Too hot — too dry — the body cracks The wind comes in — through every gap it lacks I am not flesh — I am not bone tonight I am the current — moving toward the light [Chorus] THE WIND IS MY BLOOD NOW THE WIND IS MY FLESH THE WIND IS MY MARROW WHEN THIRST TAKES THE REST TOO HOT TO REMAIN HERE TOO DRY TO STAY WHOLE THE WIND CARRIES UPWARD WHAT REMAINS OF MY SOUL [Instrumental — Mournful Passage] [Verse 2] The world ignores the bodies turned to dust The wells run dry while empires chase their lust We burn the ground that once gave us our bread And call it progress — while the rivers bled I am a symbol — of a hotter age Where thirst became the only certain wage The wind that fills me — fills the empty land A planet drying — underneath our hand [Pre-Chorus] Too hot — too dry — the body cracks The wind comes in — through every gap it lacks I am not flesh — I am not bone tonight I am the current — moving toward the light [Chorus] THE WIND IS MY BLOOD NOW THE WIND IS MY FLESH THE WIND IS MY MARROW WHEN THIRST TAKES THE REST TOO HOT TO REMAIN HERE TOO DRY TO STAY WHOLE THE WIND CARRIES UPWARD WHAT REMAINS OF MY SOUL [Guitar Solo] [Bridge — Section C] What is a body when the water's gone What is a self when blood cannot go on Perhaps the wind was always what we were Just borrowed water — borrowed heat — a blur We rage against the thirst we helped create We snarl and burn against our chosen fate The wind will take us all — eventually Returning what was never meant to be [Final Chorus] THE WIND IS MY BLOOD NOW THE WIND IS MY FLESH THE WIND IS MY MARROW WHEN THIRST TAKES THE REST TOO HOT TO REMAIN HERE TOO DRY TO STAY WHOLE THE WIND CARRIES UPWARD WHAT REMAINS OF MY SOUL THE WIND — THE WIND — THE WIND IS ALL I AM [Outro]
