- Believe in Lullabies
I feel this magic come and wrap around me like a vine.
Lover, can you trust yourself to believe in lullabies?
I don't know who's wilder. I don't really have to try
to know all of the answers. I will hold you by and by.
Lover, let me stay a while, and I'll weave you lullabies.
You are laid so low with loving me, you can barely see the sky,
but love, you're not the only one needing holding when you cry.
- Black Swan Blues
Have no say in what's at stake
Hatching from a tempest egg
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down
Call the storm on thunder's wings
Falling stone and broken things
Black swan tore the temple down
- Come to the Labyrinth
Walk between the worlds, bravely down the candle road.
The light will lead you deep into your core.
Move into the center, add your sorrow to the coals
with incense rising, steady as a prayer.
Though the heart is heavy as the dance is burning down,
may you raise your eyes and never bow your head.
We are not alone.
- Poem of War
The angels called Grigori were watchers of the way.
From their home in Heaven, they looked down on fields of grain
and for the earth's fair maidens, their hearts did swell and break.
They came down from their kingdom, many children here to make.
Their daughters and their sons we came to call the Nephilim,
but the wrath of the Almighty rose to put an end to them.
He said unto His angels, "you must destroy your seed.
- Wild River Child
I come from the land of the wild river gods
where the Joker was never a throwaway card.
Better keep this in mind when you bank on the odds,
or I'll wash your soul away.
My mother the moon, my father the tide
gave me wisdom enough to be nobody's bride.
You may think that you're tough, sugar. Swallow your pride
