Oak and Ember

In the old soil…

memory breathes…

San fhraoch tha na seann rùintean...

I walk where the roots still whisper names

Stone circles hum, yeah they hold that flame

Ash on my hands from a life before

Oak in my chest,

I don’t kneel no more

Wind through the bones of a buried age Time don’t move here,

it just turns the page You see the fog,

but I see the thread Living and the dead still break bread

Tha an talamh beò,

tha an teine beo

Feel it in the marrow,

low and slow

Drums like a heartbeat far below

Don’t speak loud when the veil gets thin You don’t step here…

you get let in

I don’t pray, I remember Blood,

oak, ash, ember Call my name through the weather I’ve been here

forever

Cuimhnich orm, anns an teine I don’t break,

I surrender To the dark,

to the center Roots run deep,

don’t sever We are bound forever Ravens circle where the old gods

slept Every oath that you swore,

yeah the land still kept

Carved in bark, in bone,

in sky

Truth don’t fade, it just learns to hide

You chase gold, I chase the breath

Between first light and the taste of death Every step got a

ghost in tow Every seed got a truth below Chan eil crìoch,

chan eil bàs You think this is myth?

Nah… this is memory

Eirich… eirich… I don’t pray,

I remember Blood, oak,

ash,

ember Call my name through the weather I’ve been here forever Cuimhnich

orm, anns an teine I don’t break,

I surrender To the dark,

to the center Roots run deep,

don’t sever We are bound forever

Tha an cearcall slàn… We never left…
