Strike you our land
With curved horns.
Bending, our bodies,
Breathe, fire,
Upon us.
Now, with feet,
Let your hooves,
Thunder over us.
A wolf I consider myself,
But I have eaten nothing,
And from standing I am tired out.
A wolf I consider myself,
But the owls are hooting, and the night I fear.
I am like a bear.
I hold up my hands
Waiting for the sun to rise.
I am an eagle.
The small world laughs at my deeds,
But the great sky keeps to itself
My thoughts of immortality.
I have dispossessed you of your beauty,
Grace, and life.
(Earth, Fire, Water, Air. Life, Death, Night, Day.)
I have taken your spirit from it's worldly frame.
(Earth, Fire, Water, Air. Life, Death, Night, Day.)
No more will you run in freedom, because of my Need.
(Earth, Fire, Water, Air. Life, Death, Night, Day.)
Give me your flesh for strength (strength).
Give me your covering for protection (protection).
Give me your bones for my labors (labors).
And I shall not want (want).
