Glass Hammer - Ember without Name lyrics

I shut my eyes to see the distant years
Before I was before the first breath
To days when we walked in the brilliant light
Before the fall before first death

I dare not look too long
A secret guarded well
I've never seen this place but
Been here many times
I know here I belong but
Danger here does dwell
An Old Familiar Face a million mirrored lines

Swimming, Dimming, Shadows, Fear Grows
Drowning, Crowning, Dark Skies, Birth Cries
We weren't meant to see
I wasn't meant to see the inner weave of me
But deep within the dark
Sometimes we catch a spark

A silver glow as warm as angels
Would fill out souls like mead from Eden
And in this dream I'm so close yet

To see it's not a dream my eyes begin to burn
A moth drawn to the flame
To ashes add a speck
The memories of all who here
Have had their turn
In strobes and strokes and strikes
Like noose connects to neck

Swimming, Dimming, Shadows, Fear Grows
Drowning, Crowning, Dark Skies, Birth Cries

We weren't meant to see
But deep within the dark
Sometimes we catch a spark

A silver glow as old as angels
Would blind us all like snow from Everest
And in this dream I'm far too close

We weren't meant to see the
Inner weave of things
No, I can't tell you when we first met
Possibly before we were born
As fragments on a thread that binds us all
But hot or cold we touch
And black and white we touch
Man and woman touch spare and fire touch

And after all I'm not a snail at all
But an ember of a raging fire!

Hot or cold we touch
And black and white we touch
Man and woman touch spare and fire touch

Ember without name rising from the flame
Free from where I came
I've burned down history's stage
I've cooled through the age
I melt into the page

A voice calls through the haze
"You must rejoin the blaze!"
Dimming while swimming
This spark astride an uphill blast
And though an avalanche might fall
I must rejoin the blaze

Carried along on a song sung in fire
Float in the chords miss the
Words of the choir close to a name in the
Flame I've been drawn to
Tell me my name in the flame!
Tell me my name in the flame!
Tell me my Name in the Flame!
