Rose-Fingered Light

[Verse 1] She don’t knock, she kicks that gate— Paints the hills with a heat so great. Steps through the dark with her hands all flame, Don’t ask nothin’, just calls your name. [Chorus – with claps and horns] Rose-fingered light! / Come break that sky! Split that veil where the dead ones lie! Shine on the road, shine through the dust— Wake up the bones, remember us! [Verse 2] The stars all bow when she walks through, Gold in her hair and blood in her shoe. She don’t forget the ones who weep— She’s the fire that walks while the world’s asleep. [Chorus – louder, with harmony] Rose-fingered light! / Come split that stone! Call back the voices that died alone. If the night got teeth, if the dark got might— Then let ‘em learn what walks with light. [Bridge – slow, with just oud and voice] I seen her once from a hill so dry, Burnin’ red in the east like a bloodshot eye. And I said her name ‘til my lips turned dust— And she filled my mouth with the taste of trust. [Final Chorus – big, with choir and horns] Rose-fingered light! / Come break my chains! Wash me down in your golden rain! If I fall, let me fall in your flame— O Lady of Mornin’, call my name! Yeah, Lady of Mornin’... call... my... name.
