Lyrics

[Intro] – [spoken, almost whispered, over clean guitar]

They used to throw gold at my feet.

Coins. Rings. Teeth filled with metal.

They thought I'd stop.

They thought I could be bought.

[beat]

I let them believe that.

For centuries.

[Verse 1] – [shrieked, frantic, over blast beats]

No gold on my tongue

No silver in my spine

No prayer you can borrow

No god worth his wine

I've been a good ghost

I've been a polite curse

Now I'm just the thing

That makes the harvest worse

[Chorus] – [clean, chant-like, doubled female/male voices]

I don't want your pennies

I don't want your pleas

I don't want your father's ashes thrown into the breeze

I want the fence to splinter

I want the well to freeze

I want you to see me coming

And forget how to breathe

[Verse 2] – [shrieked, but with a folk fiddle dancing underneath]

You built your little churches

On the graves I left behind

You baptized all your children

In the water I can't find

But the river's learning new tricks

And so am I, my friend

Tonight I cross the running water

Tonight the river bends

[Chorus] – [repeat, but faster, more triumphant]

I don't want your pennies

I don't want your pleas

I don't want your mother's rosary thrown into the trees

I want the gate to buckle

I want the moon to bleed

I want you to hear my silence

And forget how to speak

[Bridge] – [music drops to just hurdy-gurdy and spoken word]

You ask me what I want?

[laughs, low and cold]

I want the furrow to remember my neck.

I want the barley to grow red.

I want every man who ever held a scythe to feel

the weight

of a spine

that swings back.

[Chorus] – [all voices, shrieked and clean together, chaos]

I don't want your PENNIES

I don't want your PLEAS

I don't want your SKY GOD WATCHING FROM THE TREES

I want the HORSE TO BOLT

I want the AXE TO GREED

I want you to know I'm COMING

AND I'VE NEVER BEEN FREE

[Outro] – [blast beats cut abruptly. Just water sounds. Then a low laugh.]

[spoken, barely audible]

Not free.

[pause]

But hungry.

[single hoof beat. Fade to silence.]
