Lyrics
The mountain holds its fire inside
Heat pushes through my shoes and soles
The sulfur stings the back of my throat
The summit wears a ring of stars
The volcano sleeps but it remembers
The volcano sleeps but it remembers
It remembers
It remembers everything
Obsidian glints beneath the moon
The slope is black and steep and still
I press my palm against the earth
The ground is almost warm enough to burn
Beneath the stone a memory of fire turns slowly in its sleep
And the mountain exhales sulfur like a dream it cannot swallow
The volcano sleeps but it remembers
The volcano sleeps but it remembers
It remembers
It remembers everything
No bird will nest upon this stone
No moss will climb this sleeping side
The mountain breathes in centuries
One exhale could erase the shore
I stand on what was once a river
Of liquid rock and ancient rage
The silence here is not a peace
It is a held and patient breath
It remembers it remembers
