Lyrics
Metal voices singing old
Bronze and iron find their tongues
The gong shakes through my ribs and spine
I taste the copper in the air
Gamelan dreams bronze and gold
Gamelan dreams bronze and gold
The shimmer lives inside my bones
Bronze and gold
Overtones that have no name
Weaving through the rain on stone
Each mallet strike a tiny sun
The night glows from within
Bronze remembers every hand that struck it
The overtones carry fingerprints of the dead
Gamelan dreams bronze and gold
Gamelan dreams bronze and gold
The shimmer lives inside my bones
Bronze and gold
A hundred keys ring out at once
The air becomes a solid thing
Vibration pressed against my throat
I feel the pitch behind my teeth
The lowest gong still shakes the floor
The highest note still rings in light
Between them all this ancient hum
The island's metal heart
Bronze and gold bronze and gold
