lyrics

If sorrow were waves from an ocean of blue
If I were the cliffs they come crashing on to
Then you are the moon rushing them in
To make ruins of me, outside and within
And all I can do is stand in the sun
My victory an illusion
Crafted by you, to weather my heights
And make me the shore, make me a shore

You made me the shore

*I make an incantation against the brightness of the sky
I make an incantation against the shining of the sun
I make an incantation against the wind of heaven

I utter a spell against the boughs of the oak
Against the aspen and the alder, the willow and the birch
Against the budding of every tree that is in the wood

I bind a charm against the rose that it blossom not
May my magic bring darkness on the generation of the flowers
May blackness consume the grass of the fields

For in her was the brightness of the sky
The splendour of the sun, the breeze from on high
In her the delight of the woods
The sweetness of the rose, the pleasure of the flowers
Her voice gave rapture to the song of the birds
The joys of the world have departed with her
