Track Insight / Lyrics
You wipe the blade with linen cloth
Salt crust falls like dead moth
Quercus roots grip piling deep
Morning light wakes them from sleep
Silver shines at dawn's first hour
Salix holds its quiet power
You clean the edge where monsters fell
Mycelium remembers, roots tell
Urtica stings where rope lies coiled
Salt and iron, soil and toil
Your breath makes clouds in freezing air
Bryophyte drinks the moisture there
Cormorant wings cut through the mist
Piling barnacles tightly kissed
The ferry chain hangs slack and still
Kelp holdfasts bend to morning will
Silver shines at dawn's first hour
Salix holds its quiet power
You clean the edge where monsters fell
Mycelium remembers, roots tell
No monster blood on steel remains
Only chlorophyll in veins
Photosynthesis starts anew
Dock and blade drink morning dew
Polypodium unfurls its frond
New day rises, night is gone
Sheath the sword, the work is done
Roots and silver share the sun
Silver shines at dawn's first hour
Salix holds its quiet power
You clean the edge where monsters fell
Mycelium remembers, roots tell
Silver sings at morning's bell
Blade rests clean in sheath of leather
Quercus stands through storm and weather
