lyrics

O earthen spire, from whence dost thou spring?
To what depths dost thy marrow sink?
What wills the words in thy flesh e'er writ
Beneath thy boughs where oft didst sit
The Wakeful, Way-Weary of wisdom wont
To wend from well fixed fast upon
The mighty bast of eldest tree
In throes as fathomless as thee
Bound and broken, rent and riven
Of deeds well done, of gifts well given
Of bane for boon, of thought for thew
Of spirit severed and sewn anew
Of such I sing and yearn to know
As on my woesome way I go...

O, no home hath I!
On vagrant pathways e'er I roam
No friend hath I
Yet oft to the waning light of a wayside fire
Grey-clad comes a stranger with tales of joy and ire
Hearkens then my heart to the strains of the sage's song
A cup of mead in goodwill shared til the sunrise and is gone...

Striketh me, the song of the seeker, soul and sinew!
Stirreth in me words and wonder, bids me wander
To wander the ways which few doth fare
On wistful whim to I know not where
I know not where...

("I wot that I hung on the wind-tossed tree
All of nights nine
Wounded by spear
Bespoken to Odhinn
Bespoken myself to myself.
Upon that tree from which none know
What roots it doth rise
Neither horn they upheld
Nor handed me bread
I looked below me
Aloud I cried
Caught up the runes
Caught them up wailing
And thence to the ground fell again...")

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127
