♨️ THE OLD GODS ♨️ - Third PRIME Single Release from my NEW RaNiRock Playlist ALBUM ,♨️ WARCRY ♨️‘ -

[Verse 1] I found their bones in the creek bed white like shells in the mud Names carved deep in split cedar washed clean by the flood Their crowns are gone to the crows now their gold all turned to rust Still I hear them in the thunder still I taste them in the dust [Pre-Chorus] You can bury the shrine you can burn the map But the ground keeps a memory and it calls you back [Chorus] Old gods, old gods they don't sleep Old gods, old gods they come for me In the ash, in the pine in the bloodline heat Old gods, old gods they don't sleep [Verse 2] My mother drew salt on the doorway my father locked the yard Said keep your hands from the altar said keep your heart from the dark But the crows lined up on the fencepost like they knew my name by heart And the dogs went silent at midnight when the old ones moved through the yard [Pre-Chorus] You can shutter the flame you can board the door But the low drum under the hill keeps asking for more [Chorus] Old gods, old gods they don't sleep Old gods, old gods they come for me In the ash, in the pine in the bloodline heat Old gods, old gods they don't sleep [Bridge] I held my breath in the hollow I knelt where the roots twist tight Saw their eyes in the well water like coins in a dead man's sight And I said, take what you came for take the fear and leave me breath But the dark just smiled through the briars and it wore my grandfather's face [Final Chorus] Old gods, old gods they don't sleep Old gods, old gods they come for me In the ash, in the pine in the bloodline heat Old gods, old gods they don't sleep Old gods, old gods they don't sleep
