The Grand Parcel lyrics

The road returning ends in unmarked graves Motherless children, lover's lips and tongue The broken or sealed promised I will come home The road returning tastes of blood and honey Ash and birth, smells of death And the white froth of oceanspray in spring Years it seems since I last tread beneath these pines And the moon seems different, somehow Without its bloodmist disguise I am nightmare's child that walks the real dream We marked a reverie, drawn upon the map Crafted your home, of snow, leaf and sea I raise a new home from the ruins Bury my lover's bones Logs of douglas fir and cedar Altar of shells and stones Freedom exists Like a pearl in darkness Beneath the tyrant's tongue A pearl in darkness Take my heart and my body Build with your lover's bones Take from me, dig deep within me Earthskin for your home The road returning tastes of blood and honey Ash and birth, smells of death And the white froth of oceanspray in spring
