lyrics

just fold the page, amputate the sky
sharpen your quills, sharpen your wits
his soil is black, the sounds of hooves and harvest
animal skins, weave in your braids

keep humming your hymns
keep humming your hymns
with quills we stitch in silence
the sounds of hooves and harvest
keep humming your hymns

we will prepare for the sun to catch fire, our bellows below
we will prepare for this flight to catch fire, with feathers and bones
