Beneath your feet…

I wait.

I do not sleep.

I do not breathe.

And never leave.

Beneath your feet, I lie so still

The roots have wrapped, the earth has will...(“ooohhh...”)

You passed me by, you spoke no rite

But I was watching through the night(“ooohhh... ahhh...”)

I knew your name before the birth

(“ahhh...”) I marked your path across the earth

You walked through fire to claim your sin

And now… you let me in...(“ooohhh...”)

So cry no prayer, and call no light

The stars are blind, the moon turns white

You broke the pact, you spoke too late

Now wear the mark…that sealed your fate

You cursed the sky, you sipped the flame

You carved your oath, you called my name

You bloomed in rot, you slept in coals

Now I shall rise … and wear your soul....

The worms don’t lie, the soil don’t sleep

The stones still listen, down and deep

You left me here, beneath the loam

But I recall... and I come home

So cry no prayer, and call no light

The stars are blind, the moon turns white

You broke the pact, you spoke too late

Now wear the mark…that sealed your fate

So mark no grave, and raise no pyre

The gods are fed, the night draws nigher

You sowed in ash, you reaped the flame

Now bear the mark… and speak my name

So bind no charm, and burn no sage

The old ones woke, they’ve turned the page

The wind will hush, the sun will fade

You took the oath…now you must pay

Beneath your feet…

I wait again.
