[Intro] Father Fire Father Light Kindle in the deep Proclaim life within the winds That night-watch keep
Let your flames devour the oak tree’s withe Lick the sap and leap Wake the sleeping seeds below From root-dark sleep
[Verse 1] Bright one Rise in rust and gold Through crack and creak Dance along the rafters’ bones Teach the timbers speech
Trace your letters on our skin Amber Ash And heat Burn our fear to feather-smoke Leave a clearer beat
[Chorus] Father Fire Father Light Circle ’round us Burning bright (hey) Take our breath and give it back Sharper Warmer Clean and intact
Father Fire Father Flame We remember now your name From the coal to morning’s white Father Fire Father Light
[Bridge] From the driftwood From the dust From the splintered Iron rust
Rise and answer Old and kind Brand your blessing On our minds
[Chorus] Father Fire Father Light Circle ’round us Burning bright Take our breath and give it back Sharper Warmer Clean and intact
Father Fire Father Flame (oh) We remember now your name From the coal to morning’s white Father Fire Father Light
