Lyrics

[Chorus]
Ten tongues, ten tongues, ten tongues in one head
One went out to seek for bread to feed the living in the dead
[Verse 1]
Blood darkens the stone when night left none to see
I cut a man's throat, and to a stake the judge chained me
Flesh dropped from my bones, strung up to the sky for shame
The top of my skull fell in, bare and ragged in the rain
[Chorus]
Ten tongues, ten tongues, ten tongues in one head
One went out to seek for bread to feed the living in the dead
[Bridge]
Oh, let the wind blow
Oh, let the wind blow
His head was always towards Hasely
Let the wind blow where it may
[Verse 2]
Matted hair and thistledown in the weft of wood and clay
A pair of birds built me a crown when hawthorns hung with may
It's said when in their nest sat singing mourning songs
Blue eggs strangely speckled red hatched out eight young ones
[Chorus]
Ten tongues, ten tongues, ten tongues in one head
One went out to seek for bread to feed the living in the dead
[Outro]
Ten tongues, ten tongues, ten tongues in one head
One went out to seek for bread to feed the living in the dead
