Lyrics
No flute No hand No master No command The basket is open The dust is warm A circle is forming Before the storm The old song ended The player fled But something is moving That should be dead Listen close The silence hums No one calls But still we come The snake charmer is gone But the dance goes on No hand in the air No spell, no song The snake charmer is gone But the bodies know How to rise from the dark How to move down low Coins on the blanket Teeth in the sun The crowd stepped backward One by one We lost the signal We lost the chain Then every motion Remembered its name Listen close The silence hums No one calls But still we come The snake charmer is gone But the dance goes on No hand in the air No spell, no song The snake charmer is gone But the bodies know How to rise from the dark How to move down low No master breath No painted tune No silver pipe Under the moon No command No golden thread Only the rhythm The skin has kept The snake charmer is gone But the dance goes on No hand in the air No spell, no song The snake charmer is gone But the bodies know How to rise from the dark How to move down low No flute No hand Still we rise From the sand
