From The Pilgrim, Their God and the King of My Decrepit Mountain2024

Written by Emily Hubbard, Isaac Gray, Ronnie Longfellow, Tom Rogers-Coltman, Will McCrossan

Produced by Melodica & Kazoo

Lyrics

Swallow

He calls my name The sacred hunter It talks like that It flows likes water Ooo-ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-ooo The soul laid out I see the nether To turn back now There's no way Ooo-ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-ooo I listen for it And I see the fog I see the forest And I call it off On my way home I caught a swallow With broken wings And a face that's narrow Its heart still beats And it calls me over It talks me out And it takes me over He calls me name And he says it backwards Then he flies away And leaves without words And before this day I spoke in rivers Now I know my name And it no longer hurts
