lyrics

The wheel of fortune rolls round and round
for all of us
the king will become beggar in his time
if the wheel of fortune rolls up and down
for all of us
the king will break his back and i will mine

the kings will fall from the towers that we built for them
the halls will lend their air to silver birds
and beneath the mother luna always watching us
a tale re-tongued in the tombs of mother earth

the mage relearned all the powers that were lost to us
a kinship once again with man and word
and beneath the mother luna always watching us
a tale re-tongued in the verse of mother earth

the clay man in the kiln
moulded to a lover, new moon
the clay man in the kiln
transformed in the fires of the heart, this new moon

the wind cooled you down and
the sun warmed you back up again
and the water rose to accomodate your thirst
but now your bodies are burning
and your cities drowning
cause you chose to divide the herd
