Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As childhood died the old year
made The Soldier reappear.
[Verse 2]
The ash embowered night and day
as at the gate she prayed;
[Verse 3]
Wyman, am I worthy?
Speak your wordle to me,
[Verse 4]
and drisk shrouded in its cloak
holway, river, brook and oak.
[Verse 5]
All souls under Orlam's reign
made passage for the born again.
[Verse 6]
So look behind, look before
life knocking at death's door
[Verse 7]
and teake to your dark haired Lord
forever bleeding with The Word.
[Verse 8]
So look before, look behind
life and death all innertwined
[Verse 9]
and teake to your dark haired Lord
forever bleeding with The Word.
