Lyrics
Verse 1
Old copper
Dipped in the river bed
Cool metal
Waiting for the mallet stroke
To strike
To wake
To ring out loud
Heavy rings vibrating in the humid air
Thick humidity
Slowly
The hammer falls
Pounding out the pattern of the tides
Bronze skin
Heavy drums
Deep inside the temple walls
Smoke rises
Red embers glow
The spirit moves
Chorus
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Through the trees
Across the water
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Post-Chorus
Ding
Dong
Ding
Dong
Ting
Ting
Verse 2
Bamboo tubes
Shaking in the mountain wind
Rattle
Hollow
Dry bones clicking
Fast now
Run the scale up high
Fingers fly across the wooden slats
Chasing ghosts
Finding form
Building speed until the world turns blue
Sharp sound
Soft heart
Echoing against the volcanic rock
Spirit light
Spirit dark
Spirit dance
Chorus
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Through the trees
Across the water
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Post-Chorus
Ding
Dong
Ding
Dong
Ting
Ting
Bridge
The circle is closing
The circle is breathing
The circle is ending
Back to the start
Where the bronze was born
Fire and water
Fire and water
Fire and water
Melting the silence away
Chorus
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Through the trees
Across the water
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Golden metal ringing
Post-Chorus
Ding
Dong
Ding
Dong
Ting
Ting
Outro
Fading metal
Quiet hammer
Rest now
Rest now
One last strike
Gone
Gone
Gone
