Well beyond the Wall Lyrics

The cottage sits upon the hill

Behind the stack of stones

A lamp is glowing on the sill

To light the moaning gloam

It's said that when this home was built

The land was soaked in blood

But the sorrow and the guilt

Were scoured by the flood

A raven sits upon the wall

Atop the stack of stones

The valley echoes with its call

Which cuts through the groaning gloam

It's said that when the wall was built

To keep the others out

The isolation and the guilt

Grew with shame and doubt

A woman sits beside the well

Beyond the stack of stones

Her voice recites a healing spell

That dances through the gloam

It is said when she was born

A wind blew out the lamp

As a rain began to pour

And the earth grew damp

The woman ends the healing spell

Then kicks the stack of stones

The others enter where it fell

And cheer the fading gloam

The cottage sits upon the hill

Behind the pile of stones

A lamp is glowing on the sill
