Track Insight / Lyrics
Salt crust bites the lantern glass
Winter breathes across the pass
Bone-fire dwindles on the shore
Ash feeds wind, asks nothing more
Tide pulls back the veil so thin
Cold iron sings where stones begin
Knot comes loose in hempen rope
Old year dies on cliffs of hope
Samhain ember, burn and break
Wake the dark for kindness' sake
Smoke writes names on midnight air
Lighthouse keeps the heavy prayer
Cinder floats on brine and gust
Iron lung consumes the dust
No footfall on the shingle beach
Only foam beyond my reach
Tide pulls back the veil so thin
Cold iron sings where stones begin
Knot comes loose in hempen rope
Old year dies on cliffs of hope
Samhain ember, burn and break
Wake the dark for kindness' sake
Smoke writes names on midnight air
Lighthouse keeps the heavy prayer
Mellotron drone from cliffs below
Where standing stones in circles glow
Cello bows the turning year
Drowned voices rising clear
Flame surrenders to the wind
Names of kin scatter, scatter, thin
Bell buoy tolls the final knell
Lamp cuts deep through swelling swell
Samhain ember, burn and break
Wake the dark for kindness' sake
Smoke writes names on midnight air
Lighthouse keeps the heavy prayer
Dawn will find the circle cold
Grey ash mixed with sand and mould
But tonight the veil is torn
Every name reborn, reborn
Samhain ember, burn and break
Wake the dark for kindness' sake
Smoke writes names on midnight air
Lighthouse keeps the heavy prayer
Last coal dies in salty breath
Keeper watches life and death
