Anna Vogelzang - Beacon Lyrics

Building a home
Deep in the hillside
Mining for gold
Sage, bone and pine and dynamite
On your back
Waiting out a change in the weather
Chase what's been thrown
Blazing cross the blurred horizon

You, light inside the mountain
You, breathing like a beacon

Grown with the pain
Shedding your stretched skin
Changing your face
Digging your pyres and trenches
On my knees
Underneath the weight of the wonder
Moon takes its shape
Shifting from its slumbering season

You, light inside the mountain
You, breathing like a beacon

Tender hunger
Catch a tiger
Hunter brother
Shudder splendor
Oh how you feel everything
You

Fire in your throat
Ribs full of land mines
Stars shaped like stones
Guiding you down the coast line
Open hands
Hoping for your voice in the ether
I'll stay standing
When we reach the rising waters

You, light inside the mountain
You, breathing like a beacon
You, light inside the mountain
You, breathing like a beacon
