Teeth of the Earth Lyrics

Teeth of the earth, reaching to the sky

Swords forged from the oldest iron

White-headed wise bards, servants of the Gods

Your feet bathed in dew, your crown embracing the Sun

In your lap, I seek my own peace and wisdom

In your ear I whisper about doubts and hopes

My silent guides, lead me on your ways

To the warming sun, far from myself

In your green robes, I try to lose myself

From your tears I drink to sooth my pains and toils

I look for your wisdom, old as the world, wise and sad

Teeth of the earth gnaw my bones, bare my soul

Wan statues hewn by giants' hands

Solid ghosts, ageless dreamers waiting

For time and Gods to pass, your realm eternal

On your knees our ashes spread and bloom

In your lap, I seek my own peace and wisdom

In your ear I whisper about doubts and hopes

My silent guides, lead me on your paths

To the warming sun, far from myself

Now the world is spent and ground to sand

The tide is still, the river's mouth is parched

Yet you remain as strong and proud

Watching over our dying roots

What have you seen my kings?

What stories will you tell

Forecoming Gods and starving dogs and starving Gods?
