lyrics

ANCESTRAL FIRE

I know I can not ask you to chase away my demons
I know there’s a lot I have to face here on my own
All this uncertainty is filling me with visions
I find it hard to reap the seeds I’ve sown

(CHORUS)
Ancestral fire
Let me feed you with my fears
They’ve been controlling me for years
I think it’s time
I think it’s time I give it up
And surrender for all I’m worth
There’s no use in holding on
It just makes it worse

And I yearn to be free
And I yearn to go beyond
I’m standing on the precipice
Trembling holding on
Terrified of what’s contained
In the black hole of the abyss
Could there be colour?
Could there be stars?
Is there any more to this?
What if pain goes on and on
And in it I am drowning
What if there is no light atall
And I’ll be forever falling
-

Yet the yin and yang exists
It is a universal law
Even in the deepest black
There’s a point of light for sure
Just hold on to that point of light
Weave it through empty space
With your footsteps in the darkness
Trust you have just what it takes

(CHORUS)

Before you know it the light expands
Another world unravels
You find yourself forgetting that
You were ever troubled
Another sky to find brand new
Another tale from yonder worlds
So rest my child in fields of flowers
And let your dreams unfurl

CODA
Ancestral fire
Ancestral fire
Ancestral fire
Love and gratitude
