Words of Fire

Lyrics

Night nights I hung On the wind-bitten tree Wounded by a spear I reach within One bread they gave, One horn of mead Into the silence Into the reeds. Within me stirred The runes in fire, That rose through calling, That rose through painful truth I grasped, as I knew Songs of power, My tongues of stone My words of fire The wise one sees With a single eye That the dead God lives Impatient in the night Carved men man caved But cave men carved me These hands are guided I reach within These hands are charred I reach within These hands are dying I reach within
