Lyrics
The Mill
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tall it stands with twisting wings on high
Built on stones from the olden mine
The winds forevermore will drive its wheel
Draw the circle and make it squeal
The wheel keeps turning merciless!
We try and burn
We hope and break
The Mill grinds on
We lose and earn
We give and take
The Mill grinds on
By the water's spring stands The Mill
Hope and loss have built its iron spine
In raging move and in infinite line
It grinds away the sands of time
The wheel keeps turning merciless!
We try and burn
We hope and break
The Mill grinds on
We lose and earn
We give and take
The Mill grinds on
We try and burn
We hope and break
The Mill grinds on
We lose and earn
We give and take
The Mill grinds on
