Ancient hands, hear what sorrow made of me
If there is meaning,
let it breathe in me
Lost in hurt and pain,
I carry names I never knew
Every face wears the same rain,
every wound is passing through I beg the elders under stone,
look down on what we bear
Make this life leave a mark at last,
or take me from despair
All the forgotten love still burns below the ash Hold us in
your gaze before our spirits crack
Ancients, answer me Give this life a sign to leave
Let our sorrow shape the earth Or pull us from this grief
Ancients, answer me
Hear the world beneath my skin All the lost and broken hearts
Are
crying from within
I have loved what time erased,
a name without a grave I have held a fading light
I could not keep or save From every shore the mourners call,
their breath becomes my own
A thousand homes of silent ache,
a million seeds unsown If mercy lives
beyond the dust, let
it find us now If not,
then fold us into night and end the vow
Ancients, answer me
Give this life a sign to leave Let our sorrow shape the
earth Or pull us from this grief Ancients,
answer me Hear the world beneath my skin All the lost and
broken hearts Are crying from within
Forgotten love, remain with me
Till pain grows still,
or sets me free
