lyrics

From ash and bone
Another one now
Is caught in amber

I heard that one of us
Had found a truth that lay above
A secret map of flesh and dust
If you hear a hidden song
A voice that calls you on
Don't let it know
Don't let it in
Before it takes another

Are these roses again
For the night that's coming?
They're black and red
And sweet as wine
Caged and silent
Raw and violent
What never was
Can never be

I heard that one of us
Had found a truth that lay above
A secret map of flesh and dust
If you hear a hidden song
A voice that calls you on
Don't let it know
Don't let it in
Before it takes another

Through forest dark, ocean deep
And desert vast and open
Will you stay by my side?
Walking slowly
Bright and holy
Will you love me ’til the end?

I heard that one of us
Had found a truth that lay above
A secret map of flesh and dust
If you hear a hidden song
A voice that calls you on
Don't let it know
Don't let it in
Before it takes another

Now that one of us
Has found the truth that lies above
The secret map of flesh and dust
Now you hear the orca sing
The voice that calls you on
Sing it loud and let it in
For it is our mother
