Sundial in Black Sand 2 (version 2)

Verse

Frost is rising where the light used to shine

Ice in my veins, a ritual sign

The crowd turns slow to face the sound

Sundial in black sand on the ground

Drums begin beneath my collarbone

Pulling me up where shadows are made at home

I let go of the body I keep

Turning into what the drums will speak

Pre-Chorus

Let it rise

Into the dark

Chorus

Sundial in black sand

Turning to the sound

Sundial in black sand

Rise, rise, lift me up from the ground

Verse 2

The beat is burning through every vein

Ice on my chest but fire remains

My feet move slow like a glacier's sway

Following where the drums are leading the way

I'm not a man when the dark turns white

Just a body lost in sound and light

I let go of everything I knew

Becoming what these drums break through

Pre-Chorus

Let it rise

Into the dark

Chorus

Sundial in black sand

Turning to the sound

Sundial in black sand

Rise, rise, lift me up from the ground

Bridge

No sun. No moon.

Just the drums. Just you.

This is not a spell. This is what I am.
