Changeling Part III

from Changeling EP by Juliet Quick

lyrics

they will not leave again without what they have come for
the pale and lifeless entity will draw them here to your door
no shadow dims the flame of what they know you’ve done nor
conceals a face which never will be clean again, no never more

And there will be no shelter
to face your blame
in the eyes of your brothers
and prove your name
In the light of your creator
the mask you made will burn away


the spark, the animus will lead us through the ruse
the smoke of what remains will mark the sand and fill your mouth again
a hundred hands to grab, a thousand arrows loosed and
a cloudless sky to burn and paint your shadow down from toe to tooth

And there will be no shelter
to face your blame
in the eyes of your brothers
and prove your name
In the light of your creator
the mask you made will burn away
changeling, see it ends today

Oh lord, oh god have mercy on our souls
I did not know the weight of what I borrowed, what I stole
A fool was I, to cast aside the life I’d come to know
to sink down in the river, let my heart lie like a stone.

unholy creature run and hide under the mud
the bank from where you came, from where you shaped a body from the clay
what force that animates the fish, the reeds, the roots
to trade a child for silt enchanted, wrapped in silk and fed our fruit

A body is no shelter
to hide from shame
from the gaze of your reflections
that house what name
In the shallows of the river
the mask I made, it slipped away
here at last it ends today
