About This Track

"Incantation" is a track by Songs: Ohia, from the album Ghost Tropic, released 13th November 2000. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Incantation

[Verse 1]

The sound of our feet against the road

It spreads through the night

It spreads through the night

And the city ended

Speak to me, speak to me

If we're near the bottom

Work it out with me

Work it out with me

[Verse 2]

Caution, like the moon, hangs on the tracks

Blood and the lightning hangs on the tracks and

It spreads through the night

It spreads through the night

[Verse 3]

To where the city's ending

An absent star

Worked it out with me

Worked it out with me

Spreads through the night

Spreads through the night
