The Council - Neun - Echo Loom - t∞₀

[Verse] Many meetings Of the many-named Every one had a reason Every reason had a claim Bury it, break it Send it back down The oldest ones still wore The scars of the crown [Prechorus] Talk fills a room The way water fills a cup Everybody drank Nobody picked it up [Chorus] The wise had the words The small had the will Nobody chooses the weight — Only who stands still? [Verse] Everything goes south When the year goes cold Nine walked out Past the edge of what's told Snow on the mountain Filled the tracks we made The mountain never hated It only answered: no [Prechorus] Talk fills a room The way water fills a cup Everybody drank Nobody picked it up [Chorus] The wise had the words The small had the will Nobody chooses the weight — Only who says "I will"? [Bridge] I heard a small voice say it Before I knew it was mine The wise looked at their hands The hands looked at the time What you cannot put down You pick up What you cannot carry You carry [Final Chorus] The wise had the words The small had the will Nobody chose the weight Only who said: I will. [Outro] I will I will The wise speak for hours. The small speak once.
