from Ancient Tones, released January 29, 2012
In the reign of the ancient king I drank so freely from her springs
Forged my fate in fire with my bloodlust cold and dire
Now with the stage set for my fall, Rome is marchin' on my walls
I'd love to meet you darlin', can't you hear my primal call

I threw my hands up and prayed for rain
Mother cried for daughter's pain
She came to usher us from lust
With one colossal karmic thrust
Lord the tempest came so fierce my own blood ran from my ears
Then she crawled up from the sand and spread her lifeblood across the land

Her Name Is The River

We put the chains on mother earth til she complied with our demands
Compassion slipped away like it was water through our hands
And so tonight I'll go and have my final rest upon her bed
All my demons happy, my best words unsaid

Well then the word came from on high and then the gods broke through the sky
To claim the children of the light, their mighty starships burnin' bright
Though it's true I have no shame I rest assured my dues be paid
For she never fails to rise, she's the fairest of all wives

Her Name is The River
