Knock On Dance

[Intro]
[low
Earthy chant]
Om
Ah
On
(hey)
Bare feet in the dust
Hips drawin’ circles in the rust
Sun on skin
Heat sinks in

[Verse 1]
Sweat drip
Slow down your spine
You lean
Into the line
Every stomp
Shakes the ground
Old bones
Waking to the sound

[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes closed
But you see this place
Red clay
Painted on your face
Heartbeat
Hitting every stride
The land moves
From the inside

[Chorus]
(Knock, knock) Knock Omahon
Hands to the earth and your shoulders roll on
OM–AH–ON
Call it out loud
Feel the body respond
(Knock, knock) Knock Omahon
Dust in the air
All the borders are gone
OM–AH–ON
We rise
We drop
We run

[Post-Chorus]
Leader: OM
Crowd: OM
Leader: AH
Crowd: AH
Leader: ON
Crowd: ON
All: OM–AH–ON (OM–AH–ON)

[Verse 2]
Boot heel
Kicks up a cloud
Soft chant
Grows into a crowd
Hot wind
Braids through your hair
You taste
Metal
Salt
And prayer

[Pre-Chorus]
One voice
Then a hundred more
Snake line
Curling ‘cross the floor
Dry grass
Sticking to your knees
You breathe in
Dust and melodies

[Chorus]
(Knock, knock) Knock Omahon
Hands to the earth and your shoulders roll on
OM–AH–ON
Call it out loud
Feel the body respond
(Knock, knock) Knock Omahon
Dust in the air
All the borders are gone
OM–AH–ON
We rise
We drop
We run

[Bridge]
[spaghetti guitar & strings weaving]
Step
Drag
Heel
Toe
Slow turn
Let it grow
Head back
Mouth open wide
OM–AH–ON
Like a tide

[Call & Response Break]
Leader: OM
Crowd: OM
Leader: AH
Crowd: AH
Leader: ON
Crowd: ON
Leader: OM–AH–ON
Crowd: OM–AH–ON
Leader: again
Crowd: OM–AH–ON

[Final Chorus]
(Knock, knock) Knock Omahon
Drums in your ribs
Ancient future is born
OM–AH–ON
Body to body
We’re bending the dawn
(Knock, knock) Knock Omahon
Feet on the ground till the fever is gone
OM–AH–ON
We knock
We knock
Move on

[Outro]
[whispered chant fading]
Om
Ah
On
OM–AH–ON
