00:01I carried this song
00:07Before I had a name for it
00:40The gold bites iron from the string
00:42Cold wind walks the burial ground
00:45Old words waking, smoking skin
00:47Raven shadow, drumming sound
00:49I hear the dead inside the gale
00:52I hear my blood and antler bone
00:54Stone keeps faith with those who fall
00:57Nothing sung is ever gone
00:59I was born into the song
01:01Before I was born into the name
01:04We lost the shore and kept the song
01:06That is how our people stay
01:08When the sea takes land away
01:11When the fire leaves only trace
01:13We keep the dead inside the sound
01:15That is how you carry place
01:28Orbit and a winter light
01:30Frost along the timber seam
01:32Hands that raised the roof beam high
01:35Hands that fed the forge with flame
01:37Every mark cut into stone
01:40Every oath burned into breath
01:42What the mouth remembers lives
01:44What is sung survives its death
01:47I was born into the song
02:25Singers, serve the song and stand
02:28Do not dress the wound in gold
02:30Give it drum and give it breath
02:32Give it ash and iron cold
02:35Little flame, enormous night
02:37Little bone, I'm broken chain
02:39What we cannot hold in hand
02:42We call back through hide and pray
02:52I was born into the song
02:55I was born into the name
03:10That is how you carry place
03:12That is how you carry place
03:13That is how you carry place
03:20Storm carries song
03:30Storm carries name
03:37He's an apart in groin
03:38Like how you carry testimony
03:43You're not at all
03:46bitches
03:46You think everything needs to be
03:51That is how you carry on
03:51You're not at all...
