After the Fire Songtext
von Áed

Footsteps soft in the autumn air
Leaves turn gold, but no one′s there
I heard your name in the river bend
Whispered low like a long-lost friend

I held your hand when the midnight fell
Felt you change under their spell
Stone, then fire, then blood and bone
Oh I swore I'd bring you home

Oh, Lost One, where d′you go?
Through dark, through cold?
Will you break, will you bend?
Or be lost to them again?
Again


A silver thread in the hollow night
Drifting far beyond my sight
Briars hum with a secret tune
Spun from loss and a hunter's moon

Roots run deep where the cold winds call
Soft as breath, but I hear it all
Chased a shadow, caught the rain
Still I swore, I'd try again

Oh, Lost One, where d′you go?
Through dark, through cold?
Will you break, will you bend?
Or be lost to them again?
Again?

Now the forest stands still
Oh I swear I hear you still
