Hrafnsongr

Hrafnsongr Pt I

Little lady lying low,

Still silent in summer snow,

Haunting hills or hollow halls,

Little lady lying low

Raven’s rack rolling round,

A girl’s golden gauldr,

Whispers wail, whimper wild,

A girl’s golden gauldr

Fading faces fueling fear,

Brown brows, branching briars,

Dreary drones drunk and drowned,

Fading faces fueling fires

Tired, so tired,

Tired in body and mind,

Yet my soul feels new,

Tired, so tired

Alive, newly alive,

Like the bud of a conifer,

More of a pinecone after fire,

Alive, newly alive

Living with pain, such pain,

Yet only memories remain,

Slowly going insane,

Living with pain

Soul so raw,

Stripped upon death,

Freshened for faith,

Living full of zealot’s breath

Passion, pray passion,

Like Christians I once mocked,

Zealous am I now,

Passion, pray passion
