lyrics

Aunty. You look sad.
No. Not sad. I’m just remembering.
What are you remembering?
How we got here.
Tell me the story again.

Before you were born, we lived in another village, the olde village

.
Some of the grown ups in the village didn’t like the things we talked about. They didn’t approve of our thoughts.

 They got together behind our backs and started to punish us one by one.



See, In the olde village, 
they punished people
 by dragging them to the
 center of the town 
to be set on fire while



While they were alive

?

Yes.




That’s why you left.



yes.




We gathered seeds, cloth, buckets and tools
 and we made our way in the darkness, through the endless woods and through many dangers just to start this new life here for us all.



They looked for us for a while but we made them believe this forest was haunted.

I do believe the ghosts of our friends keep us safe. 



She was gone while they watched her 

She was gone while they watched her 
BURN


Now I’m so cold
I’m as cold as a winter oak 

I’m so cold
I’m as cold as a winter oak


She was gone

while they watched her
burn

Hold your light up
to a ready soft 

where only you know

one can find you

hidden in the software
there’s a soldier

We gathered beneath the darkest moon 
to meet under the veil of night
We knew we had to leave 
if we wanted to live. So we packed up half of our lives 
and tried to look like we didn’t have a big plan 
to escape we knew there was a new life waiting for us somewhere far, far away.
Away from people burning us to death. A place were we could live free without threats. 

We made a plan and there was no going back.

Hold your light up to a ready soft 

where only you know

one can find you 

hidden in the software
there’s a soldier

All call upon the light and the 
earth at the north

illuminate and ground us

.
All call upon the light and the 
air at the east

illuminate and enliven the circle

.
All call upon the light and the 
fire at the south

illuminate and warm us

.
All call upon the light and 
water at the west

illuminate and cleanse the circle.


I’ll bring the shovel and the earth will hold our secrets
If you bring the trouble then the earth will swallow you.
