The Circle Is Broken

Songtekst

[Intro] Wake the stone, unseal the ground Count the teeth beneath the sound [Verse 1: Female] Red thread tight around my wrist Salt and iron, clenched-fist grin I carve a circle, heel to heel Tell the buried thing to kneel [Male] Black glass eyes in candle smoke One hard breath and the chain links choke No way out and no way through I brought the dark to answer you [Pre-Chorus: Female and Male] Say my name— Not yours! Break the seal— The floor! [Chorus: Female and Male] Wake up, wake up, tear the altar down Run till the walls all buckle and bow Blood-red moon, let the old stones crack We came from below and we won't go back [Verse 2: Female] Laugh in the chapel, bite the bell Spin that key in the throat of hell Every step makes the pillars shake Every rule is a rule we break [Male] Ash in my mouth, sparks in my veins Kick that door till the iron complains When the whole room starts to split We don't pray—we ignite it [Breakdown: Female] Hush now—hear the dirt breathe Count down—one, two, three [Male] No crown, no calm, no control Let the black drum swallow us whole [Final Chorus: Female and Male] Wake up, wake up, tear the altar down Run till the walls all buckle and bow Blood-red moon, let the old stones crack We came from below and we won't go back Wake up, wake up, let the night explode Kick every gate from its ancient hold Blood-red moon, hear the foundations split We are the storm and we live in it [Outro] The circle is broken The ground remembers
