Dust and Reed

Intro

Oh

O-o-oh

Verse 1

Heavy hills watch the heavy border (4 words)

Rain (1 word)

Turning thick red mud to rusted clay (7 words)

Stray dog barks at the iron order (7 words)

Pre-Chorus

They march through the fog

They march through the fear

No one is left to dry the tear

Chorus

Play the box of wind and hollow reed

For the brothers lost to pride and greed

Squeeze the bellows till the wood starts cracking

Smoke rising from the winter packing

Winter packing

Winter packing

Post-Chorus

Hey hey hey

Da da da da

Verse 2

Cold iron pressed against my dirty sleeve (7 words)

Hard bread (2 words)

I want to leave this ground (6 words)

Mother waits alone for me to grieve (7 words)

Pre-Chorus

The valley is wide

The valley is deep

Broken promises we couldn't keep

Chorus

Play the box of wind and hollow reed

For the brothers lost to pride and greed

Squeeze the bellows till the wood starts cracking

Smoke rising from the winter packing

Winter packing

Winter packing

Post-Chorus

Hey hey hey

Da da da da

Bridge

Under the oak

Under the stone

Under the sky we walk alone

I came

I fought

I stayed

Just a name carved on a blade

Chorus

Play the box of wind and hollow reed

For the brothers lost to pride and greed

Squeeze the bellows till the wood starts cracking

Smoke rising from the winter packing

Winter packing

Winter packing
