Endlessly Born

Verse 1

Omens arrive, carved in ancient bone

Rain hammers the dust, a rhythm unknown

Hands trembling, feathers brush my brow

Wide-eyed, I freeze

Silence whispers

Circle wide — stones, salt, shadow

I breathe in sky, exhale my fear

Crimson spirals racing on the altar

One word — two syllables — no form

No sound — just sense

Flicker, flicker, gone

Light bruises the black

Chorus

I fall, and I rise through spirals of pain

I see all, I see no one, I call out my name

I shape shift, I shed skin, drawn deep in a storm

Enlightenment, enlightenment, endlessly born

Post-Chorus

Spirals unwind

Spirals unwind

Turning in

Verse 2

Trace embers with the tip of my tongue

Smoke twists, thick, wild, wrong

Masks surround, eyes hungry as crows

Their voices hush

Stillness thick

Maybe I run, maybe I kneel, maybe I vanish

Circles within, within, within

I break, unbind my brittle bones, surrender form

Skins slip, echoes flicker, memory torn

Another world, awash in ochre fire

I stumble, crawl, then fly

All is change

Chorus

I fall, and I rise through spirals of pain

I see all, I see no one, I call out my name

I shape shift, I shed skin, drawn deep in a storm

Enlightenment, enlightenment, endlessly born

Post-Chorus

Spirals unwind

Spirals unwind

Turning in

Bridge

Three voices chant in a dawn of dust

Three eyes blink at a mercy lost

Three times I return

But never the same

Never the same

Verse 3

Ash stains my hands, hope haunts my heart

Mud masks, breath breaks, secrets start

Chant the new name, let old names run

The circle opens

Feet follow, fever floods

Chorus

I fall, and I rise through spirals of pain

I see all, I see no one, I call out my name

I shape shift, I shed skin, drawn deep in a storm

Enlightenment, enlightenment, endlessly born

Post-Chorus

Spirals unwind

Spirals unwind

Turning in

Turning in
