The Arkbuilder’s Wife (Violent and Incoherent, the Winds Wept in the Valley​.​)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jan Davis] Send me an arkbuilder Send me a stormchaser Send me a dark winter Send me a code breaker Lay out the peat moss in neat straight rows Line the windows with newspaper Call for the wagons laden with supplies Send me an oathbreaker [Chorus: Jan Davis] Send the wind, send the wind Send the wind down Send the wind, send the wind Send the wind down [Verse 2: Jan Davis] (Send) Send me an arkbuilder I will be his assistant I'll cut the lumber into even pieces Siren songs growing dissonant Send me an arkbuilder I will be his bride I'll give him shelter, he may give me warmth One of every insecurity inside [Chorus: Jan Davis] Send the wind, send the wind Send the wind down Send the wind, send the wind Send the wind down [Bridge: Numbers Power, Jan Davis, Alex Anderson] It came from deep beneath the permafrost (what a shame) Taking the form of every fight you've lost (what a shame) Where there once grew a different kind of moss (what a shame) A burning pentecost It came from deep beneath the permafrost (what a shame) Taking the form of every fight you've lost (what a shame) Where there once grew a different kind of moss (what a shame) A burning (Sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame) (Sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame) Someone who loved you went and hurt you like they had done/been before Another reason to recede from view and walk out the door The endless trauma-cycle splits you out and now you've reborn (Sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame) With all the demons that are eating at your innocent core Somebody said they loved you while holding the blade to your throat They won't acknowledge all the pain they rended unto your soul (Sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame) And nothing makes sense and you're nothing if not always ignored And it'll take all your life to try and settle the score (Sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame) Someone who loved you went and hurt you like they had done/been before Another reason to recede from view and walk out the door The endless trauma-cycle splits you out and now you've reborn (Sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame, sha-a-a-ame) With all the demons that are eating at your innocent core Somebody said they loved you while holding the blade to your throat They won't acknowledge all the pain they rended unto your soul And nothing makes sense and you're nothing if not always ignored And it'll take all your life to try and settle the score (The gentle thawing of the permafrost The shape of the terror and the fight we lost The state of a parasitic moss Burnt away in the pentecost) 1, 2, 3, 4 [Chorus: Numbers Power and Jan Davis] Send the wind, send the wind, send the wind Send the wind, send the wind, send the wind Send the wind, send the wind, send the wind Send the wind, send the wind, send it down, down, down on me
