📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The crates split open on King's Mountain
Twelve dark shoulders met the rain
Zoo-born eyes on a broken hillside
Sniffing ghosts in the grass again

[Pre-Chorus]
One old bloodline, almost gone
Kept a coal under all that ash
Now the hoofbeat learns its name
Now the hillside answers back

[Chorus]
Breathe, breathe, King's Mountain breathe
Shake the dust from the cedar trees
One bull left a thunder seed
Now twenty-five calves run wild and free
Breathe, breathe, King's Mountain breathe

[Verse 2]
Forests remember what weight can heal
Dung and seed and trampled ground
A meadow opens like a lung
Where the heavy saints move slow and brown

[Pre-Chorus]
They took the soil, they took the shade
They left the slopes with a hollow chest
But a shaggy shadow crossed the ridge
And the ruined place remembered rest

[Chorus]
Breathe, breathe, King's Mountain breathe
Shake the dust from the cedar trees
One bull left a thunder seed
Now twenty-five calves run wild and free
Breathe, breathe, King's Mountain breathe

[Bridge]
No crown, no choir, no golden gate
Just mud on the knees of a second chance
A calf in the fog with a hot little heart
Teaching the dead hills how to dance

[Final Chorus]
Breathe, breathe, King's Mountain breathe
Low as a prayer through the cedar trees
One last spark became a herd
One last name became a world
Breathe, breathe, King's Mountain breathe
