Down in Morrow’s Way (Illiam theme song)

Salt on my tongue, ash in my hair, Dreams don’t grow, not in the air down there. The docks are bones, the waves don’t pay, We prayed for light, but the light won’t stay. The sea took our fathers, the gods took our faith, Left us the hunger, and a bitter taste. But we sang through the storm, and the night would say Down in Morrow’s Way, We break, we pray, we stay. Illcia’s eyes were fire and glass, Ruutia laughed like thunder’s wrath. We stitched our hearts in the dark, half-drunk, Trading sin for warmth, and lies for love. She kissed like a knife that begged to stay, Said, “Twerp, the gods can find their own way.” And the room was the world, and the world would say Down in Morrow’s Way, We break, we pray, we stay. Oh, we stay. Steel met storm, and I met flame, Bled through fear, forgot my name. Ji-Lin’s eyes were tides of pain, But I swung that rust till the sky gave rain. Fell to my knees, found something divine, Not in the heavens, just this heart of mine. And the wind through the blood still seems to say Down in Morrow’s Way, We break, we pray, we stay. Oh, we stay, yeah, we stay. ‘Cause even the lost find light that way.
