lyrics

When the cold night is over it seems
And the curls of mist begin to glow
With the half-way forgotten paths of wakings and dreams
Where you traded the memories of another man’s soul

Offerings to heaven from the heather and peat
A soul takes root in ancient fen
The purchase of a year with two centuries of rest
Eyes open: contemplation of an end

The almost-human shapes of tree-roots
Tortured and screaming silently into the washed-out sky
Strangled and drowned by the rise of the dark loam
Brown brush erupts from the blackness below
Sharp fireworks of leaves, coloured and vivid
Crossing a monochrome background of ancient, grainy cine film

There’s no pain any more as the cold chill sets in
No fear now I’ve settled up on this course
My mind expands, diffuses and spills
Becomes greater and wider yet slower and greyer
There’s an unmatched peace and a gentle joy
Stiff muscles relax and eyelids drop
Sleep beckons – the rest of ages
