Parla at Dusk

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Parla watches low From the hidden dark Day drags on her wings Night wakes in her heart She speaks so rare Like a blade in silk Guarding her own With a steady will [Pre-Chorus] When the house goes still She hears every break One step near the line And the whole sky shakes [Chorus] Parla, stay near Parla, stay near Soft as a prayer Sharp when it's clear Parla, stay near Parla, stay near She holds the dark Then turns the fear [Verse 2] Sleep sits on her lid Till the moon comes high Then her eyes go bright Like frost in the sky Winged arms rise slow And the air bends back A quiet storm In a shadowed mask [Pre-Chorus] If the walls give way She won't waste a sound Just one hard rush And the threat falls down [Chorus] Parla, stay near Parla, stay near Soft as a prayer Sharp when it's clear Parla, stay near Parla, stay near She holds the dark Then turns the fear [Bridge] Fire in a sphere Burning gold and red Or hot wings spread Like a vow unsaid No cry, no plea Just the final blaze For family and maker Through the hidden ways [Final Chorus] Parla, stay near Parla, stay near Soft as a prayer Sharp when it's clear Parla, stay near Parla, stay near She holds the dark Then turns the fear
