Ancestress Lyrics
[Verse 1: Björk]
My skull is my cathedral
Where this matrimort takes place
When I was a girl, she sang for me
In falsetto lullabies with sincerity
I thank her for her integrity
[Chorus 1: Björk, Björk & Sindri Eldon]
My ancestress' clock is ticking
Her once vibrant rebellion is fading
I am her hope-keeper
Assure hope is there
At, at all times
[Verse 2: Björk]
My ancestress has left all manners
Her pulsating skin rebelling
The doctors she despised
Placed a pacemaker inside her
[Chorus 2: Björk & Sindri Eldon]
When you're out of time
Oh, how you look back changes
Did you punish us for leaving?
Are you sure we hurt you?
Was it just not "living"?
[Verse 3: Björk]
She had idiosyncratic sense of rhythm

Dyslexia, the ultimate freeform
She invents words and adds syllables
Hand-writing, language all her own
[Chorus 3: Björk & Sindri Eldon]
