Текст песни
(Verse 1 - Eloise, raspy and low)
The cicadas stopped their screaming
In the middle of the night
The bayou held its muddy breath
And turned a ghostly white
No more moss on the cypress tree
Just diamonds made of glass
I’m digging for the humid memories
Beneath the frozen grass...
(Chorus - Eloise with ethereal vocal layers)
Oh, Lord, the swamp is silver now
The gator’s in a crystal tomb
We’re dancing in the hoarfrost
In our dusty, frozen room
Crescent City, cold and pale
Underneath the winter’s veil...
(Bridge - Glitchy, stuttering electronics)
(Digital shivering sounds, ice cracking foley)
Cold... (cold...)
The mercury is falling through the floor
Summer don't knock at the kitchen door no more
(Eloise humming a haunting, mournful melody)
(Verse 2 - Eloise)
Mira, keep the sensors glowing
Keep the spirits on the wire
We’re the last of the embers
Of a long-forgotten fire
The Mississippi is a jagged road
Leading nowhere but the sky
Sing a lullaby to the humidity
Watch the last steam die...
(Outro - Eloise fading into drone)
Hush now, child...
The ice is listening...
The frost is whispering my name...
Deep... blue... amen...
