[Verse 1] Day breaks slow Ash on the threshold Elders say Walk soft Dust remembers every footstep Night leans close Oil flame shakes Elders say Speak low Some things wake when you name them [Pre Chorus] What did we bury? What did we leave unnamed? [Chorus] Snake god in the dark Coiled where the prayers fall short Snake god in the dark Breath in the black of the door [Verse 2] Old hands draw Circles on my forehead Elders say Stand still Let the shadow listen first Wind turns cold Crickets cut their chorus Elders say Eyes down Teeth shine before you see them [Pre Chorus] What did we bury? What did we leave unnamed? [Chorus] Snake god in the dark Coiled where the prayers fall short Snake god in the dark Breath in the black of the door [Bridge] What did we bury? What did we leave unnamed? [whispered vocals] Under the house Under the tongue Under the sleep we trade [Chorus] Snake god in the dark Coiled where the prayers fall short Snake god in the dark Breath in the black of the door [Chorus] Snake god in the dark Coiled where the prayers fall short Snake god in the dark Breath in the black of the door
