The sea rose and fell The waves were crashing Thrashing a piece of wood Against the rocks
The surf took it ashore A strange stick I found To pick up and ponder And turn in my hands
A white raven´s skull Fashioned by time and tide And its gnarly lines Furrowed by stone
I put together a halo Out of pieces of amber Carved my own marks With a knife of bone
In the middle of the halo I placed the raven´s skull Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash
The bird took wing and flew A raven criеd in the wind The images washеd away by the sea Drawn by daylight´s quill Embraced by the woods In the shadow of the twilight
A sign lingered in my mind Halo behind my eyes Picture of amber bright Glowing with bronze
I put together a halo Out of pieces of amber Carved my own marks With a knife of bone
In the middle of the halo I placed the raven´s skull Drew wings with charcoal Painted a bird in ash
I put together a halo Out of pieces of amber Carved my own marks With a knife of bone
In the middle of the halo I placed the raven´s skull Drew wings with charcoal Painted a bird in ash
