Hymn to the Valences Lyrics
Like a messenger
To a frozen world
Like a singing wild
In a folded wand
To the source
Of the blazing eye
From a deeper world
From a heart of stone
To unchain the eye
From the visible
And to love in the open air
Where the light breathes
God of the water fresh
God of the iron words
That sleeps in the silences
Of a house like a mountain
And crawls in between the stars
And flows from the broken bounds
Of the living world
From the discipline
From the open pond
From the open wound
From the common song
Bring the fire of the warming days
And the fruit
And the fruit
To an unlikely boy
An unlikely boy
