lyrics

Where two rivers meet in the Battle of the Trees
The sound is bittersweet
Where the ground gives way to falling timber
Remember to sing
To you my love
Then succumb become one with the riverrun

When you felled that tree inside of me
I fell deep into sweet-smelling shadows
You carried me like a heavy stone
You stacked me into your fortress
Yes you did, my love
Now I will keep the ground from breaking

Where light streams unsung in dark green hollows
Flowers grow fragile and bleed for the wind

I awaken to see the red sun rise
I follow your tracks you left in the night
Where no light in me had ever shown before
Slowly now a flower blooms
For you, my love, for you
slowly now a flower blooms
“As from the power of sacred lays
The spheres began to move,
And sung the great Creator's praise
To all the Blest above;
So when the last and dreadful hour
This crumbling pageant shall devour,
The trumpet shall be heard on high,
The dead shall live, the living die,
And Music shall untune the sky
Untune the sky”*

With your eyes
You could make the dead come alive
Like rain
Rain on a beehive

*-John Dryden, A Song for St Cecilia’s Day, 1687
