Aeolian Rite II (έκδοση 2)

Verse 1

Dust in the beam where your shoulder blades meet the steel

Ritual smoke curls slow up through your open sleeve

I don't need to ask if this is what you mean

The wind is singing my name before you speak a word

Pre-Chorus

Hold still for just one minute, let it settle in

This is not a promise, this is a kind of prayer that we begin

Every step has brought us farther up the slope

I don't want to be here when daylight starts to creep

Chorus

Rite of passage in the dark and low

We are turning over something in our blood

Let it burn until we're running through the snow

Aeolian rite, this is what I've been waiting for

Verse 2

The glass keeps shattering against your collarbone

Sweat has turned to frost on the skin of my arms

Every breath I take feels like a kind of test

I know exactly how much weight you're willing to bear

Pre-Chorus

Hold still for just one minute, let it settle in

This is not a promise, this is a kind of prayer that we begin

Every step has brought us farther up the slope

I don't want to be here when daylight starts to creep

Chorus

Rite of passage in the dark and low

We are turning over something in our blood

Let it burn until we're running through the snow

Aeolian rite, this is what I've been waiting for

Bridge

This is not a vow or an oath that we take

This is only what the air is choosing to make of us right now

No walls are left between us anymore

Just smoke and ash and the sound of every door we've opened

Chorus

Rite of passage in the dark and low

We are turning over something in our blood

Let it burn until we're running through the snow

Aeolian rite, this is what I've been waiting for
