What Saith the Moon?

from The Other Side of the Sky by Barefoot Bran

/

lyrics

What saith the moon
What saith the moon
What saith the moon
What saith the moon

What saith the moon
When the day takes hold
Breaks through the ranks
Of dark and of cold

What saith the stars
When the storm of clouds
Lay their claim
On the sky so proud

The birds that sing
Be the king
Of branch and of wind
And of wing

The music of life
On the air
flows swiftly and sweetly
everywhere

What saith the sun
What saith the sun

What saith the sun
When the night comes in
The crickets are ticking
Their relentless din

What saith the bees
When the cold it stings
The sleep and the deep
The nighttime brings

The owls that sing
Be the queen
Of branch and of wind
And of wing

The silence of dark
Thick as ice
Humble the slumber
In the night

What saith the earth
What saith the earth

What saith the earth
When Her kin comes round
Spoils the soils
Poisons the ground

What saith the trees
When the axe it swings
Bites and it fights
And their lives cease

The vibrant green
Bright as the sun
Fades with the day
Like blood it runs

FIres blaze
And the air it dies
Earth's last breath
She gasps good bye

What saith human
What saith human

What saith human
With their outstretched arms
Deaf to the begs
Won by the charms

What saith human
When their gold runs out
A call to arms
What comes about

Most sought out green
Illusions at best
Forever toiling
Never at rest

Lies from the mouth
Tears them apart
But what they need
Lies in their hearts
