I've been to the place where the streams all flow

Where the evil meets the light

And I lived to tell

About the site

I've been to the place where winter goes

When the warm, spring air alights

Where the oscine sing

About their flight

I saw a girl knelt, by a pond

Weeping at her sight

For love is blind

To beauty's might

I told my tale to a little boy

He flew a hickory kite

We learned the truth about the world

And danced all night

They say a war is coming soon

I'm going to have to fight

But I don't think

that they've right

I'm not afraid to be a warrior

I'm not afraid to die

I know my place is at the table

For his blood stained, hands, have left me white...

Also a song from the upcoming Diviaped album House of the Bear
