lyrics

Before Saturn Turned Away (lyrics Damien Child)

We speak the old words to the trees
Bequeath our names to the wind
Forewarned, or maybe foreshadowing
Fairy rings and countrymen
A circle for the king
And a dance for lady Spring
A whisper on the wing
When we were young
We were so young

The days were so beautiful
Before Saturn turned away
Vengeful and thundering
The sky turned the world grey
Taken too soon
The oceans rise
A moment frozen in time

We’ve seen, the forest light touch the leaves
Beheld a promiscuous moon
Deep pools, reflect our imaginings
Midnight choirs and alchemy
A summons for the king
And a bow for lady Spring
A breath beneath the wing
When we were young
We were so young

The days were so beautiful
Before Saturn turned away
Vengeful and thundering
The sky turned the world grey
Taken too soon
The oceans rise
A moment frozen in time

The watchers on the wild side
Secret and alight

The watchers on the wild side
Secret and alight
To begin again
To begin again

Receive the sunrise
For another thousand years
Return to the well
The waters clear

To work the old land
And be better than before
When the stars do fall
The child learns to crawl

The shining ones
Beloved by all
