The stain is gone
Gone, gone, gone
My eyes lifted
Like a bird in song

The murder of my heart
The fire of a volcano
The teeth of the dragon

Experiment in 'Cro cumaisc etir casbairdni ocus lethrannaigecht'
The phrase is not familiar                        Â
Never in my ear                                         Â
No thought juveniliar                                Â
But it calls me dear

How does time pass?

The hands rotate
Within its disc-world
They cannot escape
So, no lost time

Plucked from the heart
Deep in weeping waters
Languid love lingers
Over the still land

Crack of Light
From eternity
To eternity
Such is the work
Of minds bent
On taming vastness

Mr Unterguggenberger comes to town
Rain rain in my eye
The people’s tears cry
No hope in sight
To lighten their pligh
