The first song on Mariee Sioux’s 2023 EP Circle of Signs. This song was written during the George Floyd Protests in 2020, then finished and recorded in 2022.
It seems to comment on the closeness of light and dark, the closeness of birth and death.
Bare the light, guide death for to carry us home
We went out to find
What kept our brothers from making it home
We were meant to tend
The shapes which our minds can bend
Need we even defend
All that which begins again?
Searched but couldn't seem to find
The bottom of what we could still survive
Women bring to life
All that water believed to be right
But evil crawls the line
Of that which begins divine
Oh, evil crawls the line
Of that which begins divine
Bend the light
Arcing for to carry us home
