Mouths of Salt Ritual Ambient

[Verse 1 - Bold Explosive All Female Vocals] We were told to shut our jaws To grind the bone and bleed applause No sound, no plea, no fractured name Just salt packed in the place of shame The well ran dry, but still we drank From rusted cups with blistered thanks With cracked lips kissed the concrete steel Till silence told us how to feel [Pre-Chorus - Bold Explosive All Female Vocals] Spit it out The rot, the doubt But nothing came Just salt and drought [Chorus - Bold Explosive All Female Vocals] Mouths of salt, no words remain Tongues like wounds, stitched up in vain The quiet writhes behind the teeth Where breath once lived, now gnaws beneath [Verse 2 - Bold Explosive All Female Vocals] They stripped our names and left us numb Split the throat and scraped the drum Cords unraveled, stitched with thread Now every whisper tastes like lead We chewed the silence bite by bite Swallowed dust in place of fight No voice survives that kind of war When every scream’s a rusted door [Pre-Chorus - Bold Explosive All Female Vocals] Spit it out The rot, the doubt But nothing came Just salt and drought [Chorus - Bold Explosive All Female Vocals] Mouths of salt, no words remain Tongues like wounds, stitched up in vain The quiet writhes behind the teeth Where breath once lived, now gnaws beneath [Bridge - Bold Explosive All Female Vocals] We washed our speech in alkali Let silence rot behind the eye No voice is safe, no thought intact We swallowed salt, there’s no way back [Breakdown - Bold Explosive All Female Vocals] No mouth left open No truth left clean Just salted nerves And silent screams [Chorus - Bold Explosive All Female Vocals] Mouths of salt, no voice, no plea Just bloodless lips and mutiny The silence eats, the silence grins And salt is all that speaks within [Outro] [Silent End]
