Kamaskera Gravel Of Time

Dust-road hamlet, pockets full of dawn, dawn
Practice in the barn till the chores are gone, gone
Begged our father, "One song, one stage", please
Famous man passing, open that cage, breathe
Step to the light-words flee, pulse stays, hah
Mouths make thunder in a nonsense phrase, ay
Crowd held breath as the rhythm took flight, flight
Then sky wrote claws in a green-black night, night

We lost the earth but we found the door, door
If the wind takes bodies, keep the song's core, core

Lie still - lie still - Lantern, glow
Waltz slow - waltz slow - Shadows, flow
Call out names - we're near - Hear that oath
Two notes - one soul - Bring us both

Years turn gravel-Mia and John roll through, through
Hear weird singing in a diner's blue, blue
Locals whisper of the club laid bare, bare
Couple learns earths, carries them there, there
Ruins wake-see us blaze in steam, see
Spectral sisters singing like a living dream, dream
They ring the man-"Sir, come hear this proof", come
He shrugs-then stands beneath a cracking roof, boom

Lie still - lie still - Lantern, glow
Waltz slow - waltz slow - Shadows, flow
Call out names - we're near - Hear that oath
Two notes - one soul

Thunder like the night we were carried aside-
Rueda, rueda-turn the wind wide.
Four voices braid where the timelines cross-
Change the vector, cancel the loss.
When the last chord lands and the ovation swells,
The air folds twice like colliding bells-

Lie still - lie still - Lantern, glow
Waltz slow - waltz slow - Shadows, flow
Call out names - we're near - Hear that oath
Two notes - one soul - Bring us both

Bring us both.

We step back breathing, ten years grown-
Famous now, but only they have known.
Two notes met-one world sewn.
