lyrics

I am seated on the sun disc of your mighty heart
I am greeted in silken nuance of radiant hearth fire
I surrender to the visions of light that appear
as I remember the songs of the ancient ones
now I can hear

As I am baptised in a downpour of stars
by the depth of the souls that we are
holding this golden thread that we weave
a moment so woken
hold me, all I can do is
breathe
breathe

As I journey through the spirit worlds I have once known
enveloped in flurries of flower dark petals and tumble lit stones
Of shimmering moon dust
the delicate dance of my childhood prayers
They’re written in sky rust
a whisper blown eyelashes silent dare

As I am baptised in a downpour of stars
by the depth of the souls that we are
holding this golden thread that we weave
a moment so woken
hold me, all I can do is
breathe
breathe
breathe

I am a rolling baptism of song
heard by your granted wish all along
I am her sea lit by star gazing nights
And I’m known by
summoning language

Of light pouring down
from the cracks in the sky
Holy Ones bless me
immaculate brightening
wisdom of falling stones
tear through the night
soft spoken riddles
are pulling me lightly
in tandem with heart beats
in cascades of sound
in shimmering heat
as im baptised in song
caressing my features
of skin where twas written
o’er breath held in
and let out with a sigh
of a mother’s cry
she sealed me in mystery
her stories revived
eyes closed as I

Breath
Breathe
Breathe

As I’m baptised in song
Baptised in your song
Baptised in your song
