Birth Ritual is the first track from the EP trilogy “Maiden, Mother, Crone“ and is a tale about the absurdity of the gender construct and how we are taught to perform the rituals required of us based on our physicality from birth.

Lyrics: Birth Ritual (p) and (c) Jordan Reyne 2013
Insiders - they told me
“Bow your head and do this slowly“
Their hands pulled words from stories
thrown to halves by flame and heresay.
The shaking rhythm, carving
silhouettes: allowed or wanting.
Counter-tones from the other side
where the other half of tales are tried
I saw their eyes, those frightened boys
as ritual rose above our voices.
I’ve done for you, I’ve done for you.
Our dancing is required
and feet will bleed when bones are tired, our
two circles, pink and blue
will move in opposites and rules,
and oh their voices, should we stray
from paths as smooth and cold as clay say:
I’ve done for you, I’ve done for you.
I’ve done for you, I’ve done for you.
