Aine of the Burning Isle

[Intro]
Ash on her hands
Salt on her tongue
Names of the dead
Breathed one by one

[Verse 1]
Mona sleeps in iron fog
Crows are circling
Slow and wide
Banners claw the sky in shreds
Steel at the shoreline
Teeth of tide
Bare feet sink in black cold sand
Blood in the foam
Red-rimmed white
Aine draws a circle small
Whispers break the bone of night

[Chorus]
Aine of the burning isle
Rise
And remember
Old oaths
Old embers
Turn in your eyes
Aine
Untie the storm
Flame in the heather
Stone
Skin
Feather
Fold to your form
Aine of the burning isle

[Verse 2]
Oak roots twist beneath her heel
Drums of the deep earth start to roar
Air turns heavy
Edges warp
Shields feel heavier than before
Smoke curls
Carving older signs
Over her shoulders
Pale and scarred
Tongues of the unseen lean close
Hissing every hidden card

[Chorus]
Aine of the burning isle
Rise
And remember
Old oaths
Old embers
Turn in your eyes
Aine
Untie the storm
Flame in the heather
Stone
Skin
Feather
Fold to your form
Aine of the burning isle (oh-oh)

[Bridge]
She calls the fire by its secret name
It answers in her veins
In her veins
She calls the wind like a hunted wolf
It howls through ranks and chains
She calls the river in its winter voice
It claws the crossing stone
She calls the dead who never slept
And no one rides alone (hey!)

[Chorus]
Aine of the burning isle
Rise
And remember
Old oaths
Old embers
Turn in your eyes
Aine
Untie the storm
Flame in the heather
Stone
Skin
Feather
Fold to your form
Aine of the burning isle
Aine
Let the sky divide
Bones will shiver
Kings will wither
When you decide
Aine of the burning isle
