Whispered winds call

Through the hollow night

A voice from the earth

Where the roots entwine tight

Beneath the weight

Of the stars' frozen gaze

The pulse of the homeland

Begins to blaze.

Through the ash

And the stone

I feel it rise

A guttural draw

From where my spirit lies

Every shadow here

Knows my name

Every river's song

Pulls me back the same.

Hold me

Oh soil

In your endless embrace

Pull me deeper

Into this sacred space

The tide

And the timber

The fire

The fall

They call to me

They call to us all

And I can't escape

The pull of the ground

Where the whispers echo

Where the lost are found

Through the marrow

And the mist

I hear it all

A guttural draw

An eternal call

Stones shift beneath

My weighted stride

As memories churn

Like an untamed tide

Every scar in the bark

Every tear in the seam

Holds the shape

Of a past carved

Deep in a dream

This longing burns

Where words cannot tread

A hymn for the living

A requiem for the dead

The heartbeat of mountains

The sigh of the seas

All bound by the strings

Of this ancient decree

Bind me

Oh sky

With your radiant thread

Knit me back

Into the life

I once fled

The winds

And the waves

The silence

The sprawl

They call to me

They call to us all

And I can't escape

The pull of the ground

Where the whispers echo

Where the lost are found.

Through the marrow

And the mist

I hear it all

A guttural draw

An eternal call

Through the cracks in the world

I see the light

A sacred flame

In the shroud of night

It whispers

\"Come closer

Don't let this fade\"

And I kneel in the ruins

My hands once made.

So bury me here

In the arms of my kin

Let the earth swallow me

Let the tide draw me in

For the homeland calls

And I must obey

To the roots of the tide

I will always stay
