Nine-Hour Hymn of the Void Shepherd

[Verse 1] You drift one star from mine Through dust that moves like rain Your skin is carved from oceans I am a thread of flame Your shadow bends the ice Around your passing song I feel you cross my orbit But never stay for long [Pre-Chorus] If I call, it shakes the fragile rings If I rise, the stones begin to wheel So I keep my signal small Like a pulse I never peel [Chorus] Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow I ride that spiral slow Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow Like I’m one drift from you Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow My silence lets it grow Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow And you’ll never know [Verse 2] You turn your great blue eye Past fields of iron fire The minor moons fall quiet Like they’re guarding this desire I could burn your name in light Across this scattered air But I just let you arc on by And keep my wanting there [Pre-Chorus] If I call, it shakes the fragile rings If I rise, the stones begin to wheel So I keep my signal small Like a pulse I never peel [Chorus] Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow I ride that spiral slow Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow Like I’m one drift from you Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow My silence lets it grow Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow And you’ll never know [Bridge] Maybe I am not afraid of you Maybe I fear the way you’d turn If you heard my orbit cracking All my tiny engines burn So I stay where the almost lives In the wake between your horns and blue [Final Chorus] Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow I ride that spiral slow Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow Like I’m one drift from you Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow My silence lets it grow Low, high, slow, wide, bright, dim, fade, glow And you’ll never know
