[Verse 1] Morning fog on the marsh Boots black with old mud One coin in your palm Two shadows in the blood You walk where the crows lean Past reeds and broken stone A monster leaves no witness So you go alone [Pre-Chorus] Keep your hand on the hilt Keep your eyes on the foam When the moon goes green You do not go home [Chorus] Silver on the path Silver in your hand One clean cut And the night understands Silver on the path Silver in your hand Say my name I am what remains [Verse 2] Herbs tied at your belt Bitter smoke in your throat Signs in the dust And a name on a note A child in the village A father gone cold A scream in the dark Worth more than gold [Pre-Chorus] Keep your hand on the hilt Keep your breath slow now When the teeth come close You know how [Chorus] Silver on the path Silver in your hand One clean cut And the night understands Silver on the path Silver in your hand Say my name I am what remains [Bridge] I’ve seen queens turn stone I’ve seen saints lie still I’ve walked through the red At the edge of the hill If the world wants a beast I can wear that skin But I carry your fear Like a blade within [Final Chorus] Silver on the path Silver in your hand One clean cut And the night understands Silver on the path Silver in your hand Say my name I am what remains Silver on the path Silver on the path One clean cut And the dark steps back
