Broken Ground

The wood burns dark and cloaks the rain

See what we have wrought again

Shadows scrape across the bones

Speak only of stones and home

We seek the sun in endless night

And burn in its forbidden light

From the crown it came down

The beasts gather and turn to form

Another witch in our path

Bringing the crystal view

Come on, down to the sea

Where our fathers see all

See them all unto the road

Lead us then on the site

Of war outside the mind

To the world and to our own

I lower down to become this land

I'll bring a pale shroud

Let's drag it in the blood

We'll make them see him

And take him away forever

Waters wash what we have burned

The winter's ash, the sky has turned

Mounds of earth we build on high

In barrows our remains shall lie

Trouble sleeps where dead men stare

Across the void, we have fallen prey to all

Now I shield the fragile ones

I have offered my own skin

Time must now see this through

I'll do what must be done

The fear in our eyes is clean

Spiders have burrowed deep

And the eggs are all dying

Leaving us within our own fetus

I will awake

Crawl down to you

Reach out my hands

It all falls away
