Lyrics
From the midst of the winter
I will lead you to spring --
Every home needs an altar;
every year fills a hole with the dead.
(how the once fallow field
may divinely exchange sweat for bread -- )
| Out among the rocks and snakes
| I'm laying down:
| "It's more fun to live with trouble
| than without ..."
On a long narrow road
we will play hide and seek with the moon --
Perfect seeds buried deep
though the surface be still as the tomb.
(all await being born
an ordeal that can come none too soon -- )
From the mouth of our cave
I will show you a bird blocks the sun --
If they spoke we would tremble
but they teach not in language alone.
(how the uncharted world
is a word once inscribed on a stone -- )
| Out among the rocks and snakes
| I'm laying down:
| While castles fall and kings are toppled
| all around ...
| You can see that awful cloud
| that forms ahead:
| But inside the hearth is dry
| and warm the bed ...
