Bones are heavy

Verse

Concrete walls run red beneath my feet

Ritual fire burns like metal heat

Iron horns call out the night

Flesh is burning through its skin tonight

Sweat and dust turn into one smoke

Bones are heavy with the drum's invoke

Every pulse in every rib is low

Let this darkness set our spirits free to go

Pre-Chorus

Hold the weight where shadows play

Where your body meets the fire's sway

Let it break the chains that hold us down

Here and now we turn around

Chorus

Bones are heavy with the drum's invoke

Ritual fire burns like metal smoke

Every pulse in every rib is low

Hold the weight where shadows play, let it go

Sweat and dust turn into one flame

Verse

Fingers locked on skin that's warm as coal

Breath is rising up from some long-ago soul

Steel drum answers to our beating heart

Horns are rising where the dark has torn us apart

Smoke from incense curls like a slow goodbye

Iron drums speak out into the open sky

Sweat and dust turn into one great fire

Ritual heat that never will retire

Pre-Chorus

Hold the weight where shadows play

Where your body meets the fire's sway

Let it break the chains that hold us down

Here and now we turn around

Chorus

Bones are heavy with the drum's invoke

Ritual fire burns like metal smoke

Every pulse in every rib is low

Hold the weight where shadows play, let it go

Sweat and dust turn into one flame

Bridge

No more weights to hold us down

Nothing left but burning sound

One great fire that never ends

Only this until the end

Chorus

Bones are heavy with the drum's invoke

Ritual fire burns like metal smoke

Every pulse in every rib is low

Hold the weight where shadows play, let it go

Sweat and dust turn into one flame

Outro

Heavy bones hold nothing back now

Heavy bones let this wildfire out
