Lilly Miller - Ancient Ritual Lyrics

Lilly Miller Lyrics

"Ancient Ritual"

How long must I wait
Throwing stones over the gate
Holding feathers in my hand
Listen quiet to how they land?

Ancient ritual
I'd try anything now

Glowing eyes out in the dark
Walk the dog back from the park
They're out looking at some unknowable truth

How long
How long until it breaks?

All of God's names
The ever-seeing eye
I'm singing to my hands
I'm talking to the sky

Rosary on a broken string
Comfort me, show me what I need

Ancient ritual
I'd try anything now
