Silver on My Skin

Verse 1

The moon spills silver on my skin

A restless hunger waking deep within

I hear the night begin to hum

Every shadow calling out my name

The crickets and the owls know my tune

I stand beneath the pale and watching moon

My heart is beating like a drum

The wild world is never quite the same

Pre-Chorus

Come closer now

I feel it in my blood

The veil is thin

And I am wide awake

Chorus

Oh ancient night

Come claim your child tonight

I am the song

The darkness sings along

Creatures of the dark

Come hear my call and mark

This soul that answers true

To the moon that shines for you

Verse 2

The river whispers secrets in my ear

Every leaf a language I can hear

My breath becomes the rising tide

My bones are made of starlight and of stone

The forest hums a rhythm soft and slow

The wind it knows the places I must go

No lantern and no fear to guide

Through the wild I walk alone

Pre-Chorus

Come closer now

I feel it in my blood

The veil is thin

And I am wide awake

Chorus

Oh ancient night

Come claim your child tonight

I am the song

The darkness sings along

Creatures of the dark

Come hear my call and mark

This soul that answers true

To the moon that shines for you

Bridge

Beasts of fur and birds of flight

Wing and paw and claw and fang

Join me in the silver light

Hear the wild beating tinge

From the mountain to the stream

Every heartbeat in between

Calling out in one refrain

Come to me and break the chain

Chorus

Oh ancient night

Come claim your child tonight

I am the song

The darkness sings along

Creatures of the dark

Come hear my call and mark

This soul that answers true

To the moon that shines for you
