Gathering

Blinding brightly, we see
Through renaissance dreaming, we believe
The daily muse buried, but listening
And all we need is gathering

Fighting night, we leave
All our befallen gifts surround us
We retreat to the darkened lodge
That’s cold with no songs to sing
And all we need is gathering

So chase the bear. Or run away
Put on your mittens to curse the flame
Spirits from the gallows sang
Stand in the fire but pray for rain

Hollow out yourself
Just to take it in again
And find a distant sound
An empty vessel but it’s always
Haunted thrashing out
And soon we find all we need is gathering

So chase the bear. Or run away
Put on your mittens to curse the flame
Spirits from the gallows sang
Stand in the fire but pray for rain

Blinding bright, we sing
Through renaissance dreaming we believe
The daily muse buried but forever free
And all we need is a gathering

So chase the bear. Or run away
Put on your mittens to curse the flame
Spirits from the gallows sang
Stand in the fire but pray for rain

So chase the bear. Or run away
Put on your mittens to curse the flame
The songs of old, remain the same
Stand in the fire but pray for rain
Stand in the fire but pray for rain
Stand in the fire but pray for rain
