All Golden Stay
04:18
|
|||
|
Northern winds rail, find us too frail
Know this fire, land does tire
Darkness draws near, no light found here
Nascence of storm, battles all form
Golden home, that golden home
This we deny, our spirits cry
This we deny, resounding sigh
Wild winds away, come, come day
All golden stay
On, on
Lay down your bones
This we deny, our spirits cry
This we deny, resounding sigh
Lay down your bones
This we deny, our spirits cry
This we deny, our spirits cry

Harvest
04:09
|

|
Oh, diamond, I come soft night
Like raven, soft black in flight
Have plenty of that rhondite
Have love and skin of cross-eyed
Now
To find The Moth
of Life I've lost
My fortune, it's gone
Along with my Love
Cold, bolted, barren, hollow
With candle sounding swallow
Fill cup with wormwood and clove
Bring dreams of blessed morrow
Field, forest, all through evening
Storm tempting all those sleeping
With whispers, sisters reaping
All riches good for keeping
Now
I've lost my heart
It's vacant and hard
To retrace what's gone
To stop what's been done
The heels are of mud
The mind withdrawn
My trial has come
The drought begun
I call
No, come again beside
No, come again to hide
No, come again beside
No, come again beside
Beside me
Beside, beside me
He lay down alone
He lay down alone
With honor oh

Animal
02:05
|
|||
|
Tender are the walls
Come inside to keep from all
Lay your head, animal
Rest your bones, rest your claws
Go now, the earth home
Gift from all, the world to roam
Hold your palms to the sea
Mist to calm, mist to ease

The Garden
06:06
|

|
When you come to the garden
When you walk through the gate
You will be saved
When you come with the honey
When you open your eyes
You will decide
I've seen the banks of these rivers come
Women wild and women behaved
When the current comes, each will be saved
Go, no, down, down
When you wake under branches
Flesh to flesh, not the same
There you'll remain
Wearing your shame
Buried under the knowledge
That you cannot return
What have you learned
I've seen all the banks of these rivers come
Running wild and running ashamed
All these children awake with the waves
Cold soft hands, hard surface
I will go
I won't then
Oooh
Mortal longing unbecoming
Banned from wanting knowledge haunting
And all the things I have not said
That somehow came along to lift
This place I've found, this place I've found
And all the times you lost your way
The call, I could not show my face
My face to you
And when I come to bury this
I'll know not what it was I missed
I missed with you, I missed with you
The pearl upon the tide is gone
The way I was is nothing more
A world apart, a world apart
Shame is ageless
Sorrow boundless

Stranger
03:03
|
|||
|
Got hold the lips that you wish to be yours
Waking the heart with the sound of that mass in your core
Come say that nothing, that nothing's too small
That the time is like glass
And the sound like a cry through the wall
Ruthless stranger, with eyes full of danger
Telling me what I don't know
So I must go and follow you down
Riding the eye to that mouth in the grove
Holding the hand of the one you wished he had shown
Face down, the image can't possibly stay
With that credulous yawn, we let out what we never can say
Ruthless stranger with eyes full of danger
Telling me what I don't know
So I must go and follow him down
With the Tide
you're mine
With the tongue
you're taught
With the tide
you're mine
but oh,
that aching gut
Ruthless stranger with eyes full of danger
Telling me where I must go
But this I know, eye for an eye, reap what we sow
Ruthless stranger wanton with anger
Telling me what I don't know
So I must go, so I must go
And follow you down
Follow you down
Follow you down

Anchor
04:23
|
|||
|
Those who return become stone
Let go the anchor my love
Her bridal gown has been sewn
Let go the anchor my love
You want to be sure she's the same
She will never carry your name
The man with the room will take her from you
And you'll never see your love again
Eternally you will pine
For she will never be thine
Her face is burned into your mind
But she will never be thine
He's a seeker who's found his great pride
In obedient unloving eyes
Her heart yearns for you, but she'll ever be true
To he who is deaf to her
sighs
Bid farewell in the rain
Farewell
Dear sweet, for me you shall not weep
I fled toward sorrows never shared
They echo around my bridal bed
On the echo
Where our hearts go
Through the depths to
All that we know
To be patient
With a voice soft
To remember all that we've lost
Through the moment
To the homeland
On our faces
To the nameless
To be patient
With a voice soft
To remember
How we have fought

Bumpy
03:54
|
|||
|
Faithless adamantine heart
Freshly stained and battle scarred
You'll be golden in your time
Still to live, ease your impatient mind
Bathe your raven tireless head
I will make your feather bed
Raise your weather-beaten brow
Know it's all just a show, on we plow
I can hold all the tides of this heaven
Never mind all the nights that we sat in awe
To tell our own kin begin
Through the fears of the night and the night after
Keep me near in your sight and remember
All the sounds of our own bemoan
On the path to the light, I know I will go
Very soon, all too soon, and I'll take with me nothing
Save a truth untold

Them All Eyes
02:27
|
|||
|
See them all eyes, they seek to enter
Their father's will, has borne this venture
See them all eyes, they seek to enter
Veiled all in mist, their spirits falter
They catch their breath, cast up their offer
Veiled all in mist, cast up their offer
Reign of the dawn, they breathe their last air
They bow their heads, pray for disaster
Not one receives, what has been asked for
All faith is stilled, their voices squander
All faith is stilled, all voices squander
