Lyrics
Mouth to tail Bone to breath The circle stirs Beneath the death All the roads Have turned to rings All the names Have lost their kings Sand and water Ash and skin Every story Folded in Round again Down again The old world bends And begins again Ouroboros wakes The dark unchains The mouth returns The tail remains Ouroboros wakes The circle calls Nothing rises Until it falls Lanterns flicker Under bone The river carries What we owned The charmer vanished The eggs still breathe The eater sleeps With names in its teeth Round again Down again The old world bends And begins again Ouroboros wakes The dark unchains The mouth returns The tail remains Ouroboros wakes The circle calls Nothing rises Until it falls Do not mourn The closing gate Do not beg The path to wait Every end Has fed the flame Every loss Returns by name Ouroboros wakes The dark unchains The mouth returns The tail remains Ouroboros wakes The circle calls Nothing rises Until it falls Ouroboros wakes The old world shakes The dream returns The serpent makes Mouth to tail Breath to bone We leave together We wake alone
