1. TO OUTLIVE THE NINE RAVENS

Change flows from within
Downwards to the soaking earth

Shed the remnants of this doubt
Let fire now claim it all
Hearken woods, the sky and the earth
My scream tears down the lies

Far too long
I have suckled them beneath my skin
Speak to me quietly

Carry my bones along the marshland
Let not the will-o'-the-wisps lead me astray

From the night
Above the treetops
The fire-bird cries
My heart beats faster
The storm makes its way
It screams the change upon my soul
Awakens me from the sleep of ages

Wild birds join my cry
Come holy, come freedom, wind

Make the change animate
Let fire now claim it all
Hearken woods, the sky and the earth
My scream tears down the lies
