Older Than the Gods

I breathe I speak I sing For the dawn I grow I sigh I echo Through the oak I melt I boil I toughen Like iron I've weathered all these years A riddle in the stone For too long my story’s been untold Thaw my songs from the frost Cast the spell of words unspoken Older than the gods We are tales that never should be buried Pass my wisdom on Where golden fields gamble with the sunlight Older than the gods I reach (I reach) I sprеad (I spread) I rake (I rake) Through thе ground (Through the ground) I shine (I shine) I glide (I glide) I descend (I descend) Into swamps (Into swamps) I colour (I colour) I copper (I copper) I brighten (I brighten) The fires (The fires) I've forested (I've forested) The seeds (The seeds) From marshes (From marshes) Outspreading (Outspreading) For too long my story’s been untold Thaw my songs from the frost Cast the spell of words unspoken Older than the gods We are tales that never should be buried Pass my wisdom on Where golden fields gamble with the sunlight Older than the gods Older than the gods Older than the gods Older than the gods Older than the gods Older than the gods

Black Mountain Poet I want the world to fear you And I hear your voice After edges fading Feeling recurrence Falling through your arrival Black Mountain Poet I am transformed by your meaning Can I say your words? As if all worlds were there And love comes quiet Alone all the way Black Mountain Poet I want the world to fear you And I hear your voice After edges fading And love comes quiet Alone all the way
