Rival Dealer
The title track here is from Burial’s “Rival Dealer” EP which he described as an “angel’s spell” intended to help listeners believe in themselves and not be afraid. However, he never shared the caster’s spell until we uncovered it here at 10 Songs by the powerful divination of imagination, behold:
Out of static, a voice is woven.
Out of shadow, a light is made.
Out of brokenness, a name endures.
You are not abandoned.
You are not forgotten.
You are not alone.
By this word you are sealed.
By this rhythm you are remembered.
By this light you are carried forward.
Let fear pass through you.
Let shame fall away.
Let the dark bear witness to your fire.
So it is spoken.
So it is.
