Lyrics
The circle breathes The dark uncoils A mouth in sleep A tail in soil Under stone, the old paths wake Every turn the body takes Dust remembers where we crossed Nothing broken, nothing lost Round and round, the silence bends What begins is what descends The circle opens But never breaks The world is turning Inside the snake The circle opens The shadow wakes We step forward But nothing escapes Gold in the eye Ash on the tongue Names we buried Rise unsung Skin of midnight Teeth of rain Every ending Feeds the same Round and round, the silence bends What begins is what descends The circle opens But never breaks The world is turning Inside the snake The circle opens The shadow wakes We step forward But nothing escapes Do not ask Where it starts The gate is drawn Across the heart Do not run Do not stay The path returns The path obeys The circle opens But never breaks The world is turning Inside the snake The circle opens The shadow wakes We step forward But nothing escapes Mouth to tail Breath to bone We enter together We leave alone
