I am the Altar Songtext
von Lovely Dark

Bone rattle shakes in the long summer grass
A fire in the hearth
And I am the ash
Lasting past the spell that is cast
You′re tracing symbols along the new earth
I am the altar, I am the drum
The nameless one

Secrets
You carry around
From a cup of bones
Revelations
But when it weighs
Heavy on your soul
It'll come crashing down and
Let us reveal it all tonight


I had a dream I was a birch tree aflame
Standing over
All those who came to say
Please don′t break this holy curse
We'll love what we were
We'll love what we are
We are all liars
We are all framed
By nature′s ways

Secrets
You carry around
From a cup of bones
Revelations
But when it weighs
Heavy on your soul
It′ll come crashing down and
Let us reveal it all tonight
