Four Turns of the Wheel

[Intro] [Soft Wind, Low Strings] [Verse: Intimate] Beneath the frost a seed breathes slow It waits for rain to wake its bone The earth unclenches frozen hand To pull the dark into the land Hope stirs where nothing lived before A quiet breath cracks open door [Pre-Chorus] The wheel begins to turn again One season gives, one season ends [Chorus: Anthemic] [Hook: Anthemic] Spring wakes the unborn, summer burns bright Autumn gives all, winter holds the light [Hook: Anthemic] The wheel spins slow through dark and day Each turn brings forth another way [Verse: Warm] The sun climbs high to paint the sky Two souls unspool their tangled line They grow into the heat of day Their roots entwine where wild winds play The green runs thick through every vein Love takes the space where fear once reigned [Pre-Chorus] The wheel keeps turning through the glow No one knows what the frost will sow [Chorus: Anthemic] [Hook: Anthemic] Spring wakes the unborn, summer burns bright Autumn gives all, winter holds the light [Hook: Anthemic] The fire consumes the old away To make the ground for new to stay [Bridge: Vulnerable] When leaves turn red and fall to ground The tree gives back what it has found Every gain must be laid down Every height must meet the bound The soil drinks deep the blood we give To feed the ones who yet will live We do not fear the falling dark We know the wheel will make its mark [Chorus: Expansive] [Hook: Anthemic] Spring wakes the unborn, summer burns bright Autumn gives all, winter holds the light [Hook: Anthemic] The wheel turns on through death and day All things return to where they lay [Outro: Fading] [Wind, Faint Strings] Beneath the snow the seed sleeps deep It holds the promise it will keep Quiet now, the dark is mild Rest until the earth is mild [Fade Out]
