Chovihani Rise Lyrics by Thieves’ Kitchen

Shibboleth

0

I see shapes in shadows
Like a child
The faces that clouds make
And once in a while
I see the past, the future
The dreams I never had
And you carry on regardless
And you say I must be mad
But if you knew
What they say about you
The secrets they've told me
The unseen truth
The disinterred rhythms
The echoes that breathe:
"If only you'd listen
You'd start to believe"
I am tired as fury
And still you won't let me run away
Bind me with my freedom
Bliss in ignorance, or so they say
Skies are black tomorrow
Black as sulphur on the tongues of thieves
Blazing through the silence
A private pain beneath the scarlet leaves
I fear fight for survival
I'll keep my tears to keep the peace
Don't tell me you're sorry
I don't want to hear a word you say
Help me through the thunder
Help me see the light of day
Dark clouds don't become me
You know I never could stand the rain
You may laugh at me now
I'm laughing too inside to hide the pain
A mask of simple sweetness
Belies the fears my years have been
Disguises well the neatness
Of being quiet and obscene
You can't fight this for me
I am warrior, enemy and prize
Whoever wins the battle
Makes sure that something else inside me dies
I'm the spoil of ages
Blue veins drive the pain that makes me sing
I'm a blind Kassandra
I see the death of life in everything
And though the skies were cloudy
I saw you smile the day it rained
And though you tried to warn me
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Bare my fate with fury
And still you won't let me run away
Bind me with my freedom
Bliss in ignorance, or so they say
Skies are blue tomorrow
Blue as screaming in the howling wind
Blue as sacred sadness
A lisping child before you, I give in
I fear fight for survival
I'll keep my tears to keep my pride
My name is fire to speak it
I'll see you on the other side
I see the past, the future
The dreams I never had
And you carry on regardless
And you say I must be mad
But if you knew
What they say about you
The secrets they've told me
The unseen truth
The disinterred rhythms
The echoes they breathe:
"If only you listen
You'd start to believe"
