Moonseed Crown

[Verse 1] I wore the ash of dawn Down to the river stones Found a key in the reeds That fit my bones You came with wolf-gray eyes And a thorn of a smile Said the gates don’t sleep But they open in a while [Pre-Chorus] So I traced your name On the castle wall And the air went gold When the shadows called I heard the flute rise high Like a spell in my chest You took my hand And the night said yes [Chorus] Moonseed crown, take me now Take me where the old stars bow Moonseed crown, hold me close I was lost, now I know Moonseed crown, lift me high Past the grief and the iron sky Moonseed crown, make me yours I was made for open doors [Verse 2] We crossed the lake at noon In a boat made of song With a blackbird guide And the moonlight wrong Your cloak caught fire at the hem Then turned to silver rain I laughed like I knew How to break a chain [Pre-Chorus] And the cello shook Like a hidden vow The whole old world Was leaning now You said, “Don’t look back” So I burned that page Then the hills came alive Like a runaway stage [Chorus] Moonseed crown, take me now Take me where the old stars bow Moonseed crown, hold me close I was lost, now I know Moonseed crown, lift me high Past the grief and the iron sky Moonseed crown, make me yours I was made for open doors [Bridge] If the wolves come near Let them hear my name I’m not your orphan girl I’m a blade in a flame Flute in the dark Cello under skin I was built from a dream And I’m walking in [Final Chorus] Moonseed crown, take me now Take me where the old stars bow Moonseed crown, hold me close I was lost, now I know Moonseed crown, lift me high Past the grief and the iron sky Moonseed crown, make me yours I was made for open doors Moonseed crown, hear me sing I was born to rule this thing Moonseed crown, in my hands I can turn a wound to land
