Ignis Quercus Slow Version

Описание: Haunting Celtic folk with pagan ritual overtones; low whistle and droning fiddle over frame drum pulse, male vocals in an intimate register that swell with layered gang-chant harmonies in the chorus; octave mandolin and harp provide earthy shimmer, tempo rolling like a slow dance around a bonfire, final chorus opens into raw, communal call-and-response, fast 150-175 BPM celtic pagan hardtechno

Lyrics :

[Verse 1]
Ash on my hands
Iron in the ground
Old hill circles
Hum without a sound
Bare feet
Cold mud
Breath hangs in the air
Every broken promise
Tangled in my hair

[Chorus]
By oak and ember
I remember
Names that slipped from every stone
Sky and heather
Bound together
I am flesh
And I am bone
Blood and rain
Joy and pain
I stand where all my mothers stood
By oak and ember
I remember
I am earth
And I am spirit
And I am wood (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Crow on the fencepost
Watching while we sing
Smoke draws a spiral
Up to where it clings
Salt on my tongue
Wild thyme on my skin
If there is a doorway
Let the dawn pull me in

[Chorus]
By oak and ember
I remember
Names that slipped from every stone
Sky and heather
Bound together
I am flesh
And I am bone
Blood and rain
Joy and pain
I stand where all my fathers stood
By oak and ember
I remember
I am earth
And I am spirit
And I am wood (oh yeah)

[Bridge]
Hand to hand
We circle
Breathing slow
What do you keep?
What can you let go?
Old gods laughing
In the rustling leaves
Nothing to believe in
Only what you breathe

[Chorus]
By oak and ember
I remember
Every name beneath this stone
Sky and heather
Bound together
I am flesh
And I am bone
Blood and rain
Leave and stain
I walk where all my people stood
By oak and ember
I remember
I am earth
And I am spirit
I am wood
