lyrics

A new life answers
Summer’s dawn
Feeding, dreams to fly
But ice soon falls

And there were fourteen
Fourteen stars
Up in space
A softly glowing trace
To watch while you wait
Under fourteen
Fourteen stars

Crawl out
Before the willow bursts
Through winter’s night
Long days, but
Soon comes
The fading light

And there were fourteen
Fourteen stones
Where you lay
Suspended in one place
The frost in your veins
And over fourteen
Fourteen stones

Rise up, once more
Begin again
Season after season
Feast, freeze and thaw

And there were fourteen
Fourteen years
Til you woke
A paper skin you wove
The bonds they were broken
After fourteen
Fourteen years

No longer tied to the tundra
You’re living on
The scales on your wings
Are as grey as the rocks that fall
Beneath your flight
As you lift
Into history

And for fourteen
Fourteen more hours
You live

You were only waiting for the right moment to shine
For your time to come alive
For the sun to rise
