Broken Ground

[Verse 1: Steve Von Till] 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 [Verse 2: Scott Kelly] From the crown it came down The beasts gather and turn to form Another witch in our path Bringing the crystal view [Verse 3: Steve Von Till] 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 [Verse 4: Scott Kelly] I'll bring a pale shroud Let's drag it in the blood We'll make them see him And take him away forever [Verse 5: Steve Von Till] 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 [Verse 6: Steve Von Till] 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 [Verse 7: Scott Kelly] The fear in our eyes is clean Spiders have burrowed deep And the eggs are all dying Leaving us within our own foetus [Verse 8: Steve Von Till] I will awake Crawl down to you Reach out my hands It all falls away
