Stomp the Grain

Intro

Haj

Haj-haj

Ej-haj

Chorus

Stomp on the grain until the boards moan

Calling the kin back to the hearth

Ancient faces in the flickering smoke

Ancestor spirits return for the feast

Calling the kin back to the hearth

Calling the kin back to the hearth

Verse 1

Old copper belts rattling loud

Thumping boots

White linen shirts catching the wind

Twelve fathers watch us from the rafters

Pre-Chorus

Fire burns blue

Fire burns red

Fire burns gold

Chorus

Stomp on the grain until the boards moan

Calling the kin back to the hearth

Ancient faces in the flickering smoke

Ancestor spirits return for the feast

Calling the kin back to the hearth

Calling the kin back to the hearth

Bridge

He poured the wine

He blessed the wine

He drank the wine

Skirts spinning like a mountain hawk

Distant gods lean down to listen

Verse 2

Shoulders clashing in a tight circle

Sweat and salt

Shadows growing tall against the clay

Lifting our tin cups to the sky

Pre-Chorus

Fire burns blue

Fire burns red

Fire burns gold

Chorus

Stomp on the grain until the boards moan

Calling the kin back to the hearth

Ancient faces in the flickering smoke

Ancestor spirits return for the feast

Calling the kin back to the hearth

Calling the kin back to the hearth
