Timber and Clay

Verse 1

Timber soles against the clay

Wild wooden boots will pound a path tonight

Sweat on the brow

We call the names of men who held this land before us

Pre-Chorus

Bring the copper bowls

Fill the heavy glass

Watch the shadows grow

Chorus

Give the fire what it wants

Give the spirit what it needs

Old blood runs through the floor

Spinning till the giants wake up

Old blood runs through the floor

Old blood runs through the floor

Post-Chorus

High now

Up now

Spinning till we see the sky go gray

Verse 2

Brother braids a crown of rye

Salt on his palms while the golden barrel swings

Hungry for the sky

I am becoming a shape the storm might recognize

Pre-Chorus

Bring the copper bowls

Fill the heavy glass

Watch the shadows grow

Chorus

Give the fire what it wants

Give the spirit what it needs

Old blood runs through the floor

Spinning till the giants wake up

Old blood runs through the floor

Old blood runs through the floor

Post-Chorus

High now

Up now

Spinning till we see the sky go gray

Bridge

He hears us

They hear us

The land hears us screaming at the clouds

Chorus

Give the fire what it wants

Give the spirit what it needs

Old blood runs through the floor

Spinning till the giants wake up

Old blood runs through the floor

Old blood runs through the floor

Post-Chorus

High now

Up now

Spinning till we see the sky go gray
