When you were a child[00:00:42]
You were a tomboy[00:00:47]
And your mother laughed at the serious way[00:00:52]
You looked at her[00:00:54]
And from your window at night[00:00:56]
There were the star's little fires[00:01:03]
And the armory lights[00:01:09]
You were tracing the lines[00:01:17]
Of a globe with your fingers[00:01:19]
Cool rivers white wastes[00:01:27]
Desert shores and the forest green[00:01:30]
And a limitless life[00:01:34]
In the breath of each tide[00:01:39]
And the bright mountains rising[00:01:44]
Now the boys are away[00:02:32]
And such kicks they are having[00:02:37]
Slashing away at those forest walls[00:02:43]
With their bitter knives[00:02:46]
Sparks bloom in their eyes[00:02:48]
And they never look tired[00:02:54]
Will they never look tired[00:02:58]
On cliffs that tower from the rising seas[00:03:07]
Their bonfires glow[00:03:11]
Where a tiger lies[00:03:14]
Cleaning their weapons[00:03:18]
They laugh at his useless claws and all[00:03:19]
It is a beautiful night[00:03:24]
To be born to this life[00:03:28]
And grind his every bone to powder[00:03:34]
Do you remember[00:03:39]
Do you remember[00:04:34]
She carried you down to the edge of the dark river[00:04:56]
And said Though the water is wide[00:05:03]
You will never grow tired[00:05:18]
You are bound to your life[00:05:23]
Like a mother and child[00:05:28]
You will cling to your life[00:05:33]
Like a suckering vine[00:05:39]
And like the rest of your kind[00:05:43]
You will increase[00:05:49]
And increase[00:05:55]
Past all of our dreaming[00:06:03]
Horse without rider[00:06:24]
Lungs without breathing[00:06:34]
Day without light[00:06:43]
Song without singing[00:06:52]
A song[00:07:03]
