Lyrics
Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
Silver hills of high plateau
Mountains breathing slow
I walk the narrow ledge
Beneath the edge
Searching for the path I used to know
Pre-Chorus
Wait for the rain
Pray for the rain
Beg for the rain
Chorus
Ancient spirits call my name
Lifting the ancestral flame
High above the valley floor
Knocking on a wooden door
High above the valley floor
Hook
Eyee Eyee-ye
Amhara
Eyee Eyee-ye
Verse 2
Stones remember every song
Centuries grow long
Wind moves through the tall dry grass
Watching seasons pass
Voices in the dust belong to you
Pre-Chorus
Wait for the rain
Pray for the rain
Beg for the rain
Chorus
Ancient spirits call my name
Lifting the ancestral flame
High above the valley floor
Knocking on a wooden door
High above the valley floor
Hook
Eyee Eyee-ye
Amhara
Eyee Eyee-ye
Bridge
Visions spinning in the red dirt
Tzimista rising from the red dirt
Cursing all the hunger and the red dirt
Chorus
Ancient spirits call my name
Lifting the ancestral flame
High above the valley floor
Knocking on a wooden door
High above the valley floor
Post-Chorus
Ayi ayi
The drums carry me
The strings carry me
The mountain carries me
