The sea rose and fell
The waves were crashing
Thrashing a piece of wood
Against the rocks
The surf took it ashore
A strange stick I found
To pick up and ponder
And turn in my hands
A white raven's skull
Fashioned by time and tide
And its gnarly lines
Furrowed by stone
I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone
In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash
The bird took wing and flew
A raven cried in the wind
Images washed away by the sea
Drawn by daylight's quill
Embraced by the woods
In the shadow of the twilight
A sign lingered in my mind
Halo behind my eyes
Picture of amber bright
Glowing with bronze
I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone
In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash
I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone
In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash
The waves were crashing
Thrashing a piece of wood
Against the rocks
A strange stick I found
To pick up and ponder
And turn in my hands
Fashioned by time and tide
And its gnarly lines
Furrowed by stone
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash
A raven cried in the wind
Images washed away by the sea
Embraced by the woods
In the shadow of the twilight
Halo behind my eyes
Picture of amber bright
Glowing with bronze
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash
