Beneath the Crown

Intro

Frozen wind

Buried stone

Older than the moon

Verse 1

I walked the ridge where pines bend low

Beneath the skin of sleeping earth

My breath a ghost against the fog

The black woods humming with my birth

Pre-Chorus

Roots reach where rivers run

Roots hold what light has done

Chorus

Ash and shadow carry me down

Carry me down beneath the crown

Ash and shadow carry me down

Into the cold that wears no sound

Verse 2

My hands have held the antler's bone

My eyes have watched the ravens turn

The fire fed on what I owned

The mountain keeps what I would learn

Pre-Chorus

Roots reach where rivers run

Roots hold what light has done

Chorus

Ash and shadow carry me down

Carry me down beneath the crown

Ash and shadow carry me down

Into the cold that wears no sound

Bridge

I am not lost

I am not found

I am the frost

On hollow ground

Chorus

Ash and shadow carry me down

Carry me down beneath the crown

Ash and shadow carry me down

Into the cold that wears no sound
