-
Consumed, consumed
By the shade of the loom
By giants, by giants
I'd only assume
That we are not safe
At this edge of the world
By tyrants, by tyrants
We tipped and we twirled
--
If you're not the end of me
You're not my enemy
Lend me your hand
Or death from above
Steer us from this storm
And into the warm
Nothing, oh nothing
Keep me from my love
There's someone to care for
Places to see
A home, a garden
Just waiting for me
I know, I know
This cloud would lay claim
What's mine and me
Just spare me my name
--
One hundred long nights
On the sea of the lure
Tear lost through the books
Through page and scripture
Someone in waiting
Someone I must find
Pray waters and winds
And spirits so kind
That they may find rest
And bring us from our curse
As souls of the sea
We sing our last verse
Consumed, consumed
Confused and confused
If we are so lost
The lure is amused
Ye giants, Ye tyrants
We souls are defiant
We're not so compliant
When put on the edge
Your time has come now
And so has ours too
We tread in the shadows
For journeys anew
There's someone to care for
And places to see
A home and a lover
Just waiting for me
Out of the lure
And out of the loom
The shade, the shade
Is surely my tomb...
