Thread Under Glass — A Song Inspired by A fragile historic threadwork crosses water again, becoming a symbol for memory that can only survive when carried carefully. Bayeux Tapestry British Museum England Normandy.

[Verse 1]
No drum, no trumpet, just rain at the door
And a line that curled on the polished floor
We came for a relic, we found a nerve
A thin bright witness with a centuries' curve

[Pre-Chorus]
Our hands were empty, our eyes were full
The old world tugging like a cord of wool

[Chorus]
Thread under glass, don't let us hold too fast
Some things come home but they cannot be grasped
Light through the linen, shadow on the brass
We breathe and step back for the thread under glass

[Verse 2]
The stitched men ride but they never arrive
Still every color looks painfully alive
A room full of strangers felt the same command
Love is not always the reach of a hand

[Bridge]
Carry the salt, carry the stain
Carry the names that fell out of the frame
If home is a window instead of a door
Let the old thread shine a little more

[Lead Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Thread under glass, don't let us hold too fast
Some things come home but they cannot be grasped
Light through the linen, shadow on the brass
We breathe and step back for the thread under glass

[Outro]
Hold the line, hold the line
Old thread, new light
