Текст песни
I walked the thorn line, baby
With ash on my sleeve
Your old bone charm still warm
From the night you’d leave
The river kept your secret
Under black pine teeth
Hear the hounds at the gate
Hear the iron ring
I’m not your tender prayer
I’m the thing I bring
Ashen birch, take my hand
Ashen birch, pull me down
I know your name by the scar
I know your name by the sound
Ashen birch, take my hand
Ashen birch, hold me now
I traced the rune in mud
Where the crows broke bread
You left a lamp in the reeds
And a fox-red thread
Now the hill keeps calling
With your footsteps dead
Hear the drums in the dirt
Hear the sparks awake
I don’t come empty
I come to take
Ashen birch, take my hand
Ashen birch, pull me down
I know your name by the scar
I know your name by the sound
Ashen birch, take my hand
Ashen birch, hold me now
Let the old names split
Let the rootwork rise
I bled for the open road
I bled for the lies
If you want my heart
Come meet my eyes
Ashen birch, take my hand
Ashen birch, pull me down
I know your name by the scar
I know your name by the sound
Ashen birch, take my hand
Ashen birch, hold me now
