Time forgets, but the earth keeps score

[Verse 1] Ashes drift through the cypress grove A name unspoken stirs below Time forgets, but the earth keeps score We trace the runes carved in the floor [Chorus] Come now, walkers of the hush Slip the soil, break the crush No brass horn, no altar flame Just the stillness calling your name [Verse 2] Mist curls round the crooked yew The branches bend like old truths do Flesh is gone, but form remains Bound in root and bound in rain [Bridge] Threshold thin as the spider’s thread Cross if you will, all debts are shed Not to bind, but to unseal The wound beneath what time won’t heal [Final Chorus] Come now, walkers of the hush Slip the soil, break the crush No brass horn, no altar flame Just the stillness calling your name
