From the mystic dreams of night time
I saw the clarity of my days
From the shades of longing
Looked for the familiar glow
The death of my wife's slayer
Brought no comfort to me
No shape for loneliness
For a dream

A queen of gold I made
A silver bride I built
From the northern summer nights
From the winter moon
Responded not my girl
No beating heart I felt
I brought no sighs to the silver lips
No warmth from the gold

Within my heart a flame of desires
Provoked the power of my will
Forced into silvery shape
A golden queen for me
I made our bed under the stars
Covers a-plenty, bear skin hides
Stroked the arc of golden curves
Kissed the lips of silver

A queen of gold I made
A silver bride I built
From the northern summer nights
From the winter moon
Responded not my girl
No beating heart I felt
I brought no sighs to the silver lips
No warmth from the gold

(Queen of gold) I made her
(Silver Bride) I built her
(Queen of gold) no warmth
(Silver Bride) no love
(Queen of gold) I made her
(Silver Bride) I built her
(Queen of gold) no warmth
(Silver Bride) no life

From the mystic dreams of night time

From trails of wolves
From paths of bruin
From fen-depths and mountain winds
Raised into the light I was
Separated apart I was

I am of air
I am water
I am of fire
And earth I am

The lore of air
The waters wisdom
Fire aware
The memory of earth

Upon my birth I understood
The spirits of matter
And their alliance
In spatterns of liquid iron
Separated apart I was

Separated I was
Apart I was

In a flash of light
A crash of storm
I was called there
Among all the greatest

Where light was curved
Into an arc
I was made real
Constructed of gods

To north, south, east and west
The spirit of air to quarters four
She was my mother
Heavy with wind
Swelled from the sea

Separated I was
Apart I was

Separated I was
Apart I was

From chaos of matter restored I was
Brought to the essence of creation
To red, black and white
To milk iron and steel

The lights of chaos
They have transformed
Into a precise spark
The spark of my mind
The sounds disruptive
Into distant singing
I can hear them through waters
