Kanawha Black Lyrics by Nechochwen

Kanawha Black

2022

[Verse 1]
Every step along this winding path
Leads back to where the ghosts of men reside
On the ridges where the vultures fly
I hear them below…
In rising smoke
In mounds of earth where the broken bundles lie
In winter’s thaw, revealing secrets of the land
Kanawha black, a source of power in my hand
[Chorus]
Within these symbols carved in stone
We find the hills are showing the way
Thе lost living path of the past
[Verse 2]
Now submerged bеneath the swollen banks
Effigies that hold the truth for all time
The hidden meaning only seen from the sky
And felt deep inside
Inscribed in the soul
Tattooed in the flesh for the spirits to guide
Burnt into the mind, always hearing its call
Kanawha black, a memory left for us all
[Bridge]
Beyond the windswept horizon
Unveil what no one can see
No one can see
Perched atop the precipice, seeing figures through the mist
A bend in the river arcing waves to the south
Long ago on sharpened stakes, severed heads of enemies
Gave warnings in the rancid blood that spilled from their mouths
Fires of the distant past, seared into memories
Are found within the embers on the shore
A yearning to return to the hills of Appalachia
Atn wemi lakwa forevermore…
[Bridge Chorus]
The answers still remain unknown
These signs will fade with winter’s return
As mysteries woven in time
Woven in time
[Verse 3]
Every step along this lonely trail
Scrapes the surface where the ancestors died
In the valleys where coyotes hide
I hear from above:
In falling rains
In howling winds sending flames soaring high
In summer’s haze, arcane songs fill the night
Kanawha black, transforming darkness to light
[Chorus]
The answers still remain unknown
These signs shall fade with winter’s return
As mysteries woven in time
