lyrics

from the midst of the winter
I will lead you to spring:
every home needs an altar
every year fills a hole with the dead.
how the once fallow field
may divinely exchange sweat for bread --

out among the rocks and snakes
I'm laying down:
"it's more fun to live with trouble
than without..."

on our long narrow road
we will be merry friends with the moon:
perfect seeds buried deep
though the surface be still as the tomb.
all await being born
an ordeal that can come none too soon --

out among the rocks and snakes
I'm laying down:
"it's more fun to live with trouble
than without..."

from the mouth of our cave
I will show you a bird blocks the sun:
if they spoke we would tremble
but they teach not in language alone.
how the uncharted world
is a word once inscribed on a stone --

out among the rocks and snakes
I'm laying down:
while castles fall and kings are toppled
all around...

you can see the awful cloud
that forms ahead:
but inside the hearth is dry
and warm the bed...

in the midst of the winter
I will lead you to spring:
every year builds an altar
every home digs a hole for the dead --
