Sacred Ground

Sacred Ground is a raw Celtic folk love song about devotion without doctrine — where love becomes ritual, bodies become prayer, and the earth remembers what heaven forgets.

Fans of Hozier-style folk, Florence + The Machine’s ethereal intensity, and dark atmospheric indie will feel at home here.

Lyrics -

[Verse 1]

We met where the river bends toward the sea
You were kneeling in the dirt planting something wild and free
Said your hands knew how to coax the dead back into bloom
I asked if you could teach me, you said "Maybe, but not soon"
Your laugh was like the thunder rolling soft across the hills
You moved like you were dancing with some ancient force of will
I followed you through forests where the old gods left their names
And learned that love's not gentle when it burns you into flame

[Pre-Chorus]

So lay me down where the earth is holy
Where the weeds grow tall and the wind moves slowly


[Chorus]

Take me to your sacred ground
Where the lost get found


Where we can love like real people do
No saints, no shame, just me and you


Bury me beneath your roots
Let me grow into your truth
On sacred ground, sacred ground

[Verse 2]

You showed me where your mother taught you all the old folk songs
The ones about the lovers who loved hard but never long
You sang them like a prayer to gods you didn't quite believe
But honored anyway because the ritual sets you free
I kissed you in the churchyard where your family sleeps in stone
You said "Don't be afraid, the dead don't want us alone"
We made love like it was worship, like our bodies knew the hymn
Like we'd done this dance before in other lives, other skin

[Pre-Chorus]

So lay me down where the earth is holy
Where the weeds grow tall and the wind moves slowly

[Chorus]

Take me to your sacred ground
Where the lost get found
Where we can love like real people do
No saints, no shame, just me and you
Bury me beneath your roots
Let me grow into your truth
On sacred ground, sacred ground

[Bridge]

They say that love's supposed to make you feel brand new
But ours feels ancient, like it always knew
That we'd been circling each other through lifetimes undefined
Just waiting for the moment when our paths would realign
So take my doubt and take my fear
Plant them deep and keep them here
Let them feed whatever grows between us now

[Final Chorus]

Take me to your sacred ground
Where the lost get found
Where we can love like real people do
Broken, brave, and somehow true
Bury me beneath your roots
I'll grow into your truth
On sacred ground, on sacred ground
We don't need heaven when we've got this holy ground
Just us, just this, just love that pulls us down

Into sacred ground..
