作词：头条梦三

I found your red thread

Caught in the thorn fence

Under the millet stalks

By the ditch where the toads sing

Your mother said, "Don't go"

But the field kept my name

And the crows on the bamboo

Kept turning their heads

Now the river runs black

Under moon-split skin

I hear bare feet behind me

I hear bare feet again

The drum in the hill

Starts slow in my chest

And the smoke from the graveyard

Won't leave my breath

Burn, burn, paper lantern bones

Burn, burn, let the dark come home

Hee-yah, hee-yah, hold the line

Run with me before the pine

Burn, burn, paper lantern bones

Burn, burn, let the dark come home

Hee-yah, hee-yah, hear them call

We were born to break the wall

Grandfather carved a mask

From the apple tree bark

Said, "Wear it at dusk

When the hills get hungry"

I saw your footprints split

At the edge of the paddy

One set led to the house

One set led under

The dog would not bark

Just scraped at the door

And the well kept singing

Like a throat full of moths

Now the river runs black

Under moon-split skin

I hear bare feet behind me

I hear bare feet again

The drum in the hill

Starts slow in my chest

And the smoke from the graveyard

Won't leave my breath

Burn, burn, paper lantern bones

Burn, burn, let the dark come home

Hee-yah, hee-yah, hold the line

Run with me before the pine

Burn, burn, paper lantern bones

Burn, burn, let the dark come home

Hee-yah, hee-yah, hear them call

We were born to break the wall

I looked in the water

And it looked back old

With my father's hands

And your braids of gold

The flute went thin

Like a wire through rain

Then the cellar door

Started breathing my name

Burn, burn, paper lantern bones

Burn, burn, let the dark come home

Hee-yah, hee-yah, hold the line

Run with me before the pine

Burn, burn, paper lantern bones

Burn, burn, let the dark come home

Hee-yah, hee-yah, hear them call

We were born to break the wall
