acoustic demo version

lyrics

I see the lights of the city go down
A heart – brings in the sea
The sky has an eye
Awaken a light in me

A wild wind blows the heart of the city
Onto the plains, by river and stream
Walk through the glade in still serenity

Chorus:
Avon,
carry me home through the fires of bran
Sleep in the dust of Albion
cauldron of life, this sacred land,
wood; passing life – time; cast in stone
clad in precious flame - cast no shadow
the song of life a-flame
the fires of Bran

The winds of time change the heart of the city
Time is changed by hearth of stone
The hands of time are the life through which we flow

I am a heart, with a sword
a-flame
feet of dust walk this path again
wash my feet in the heart – temple of eternity

Chorus :
Avon,
carry me home through the fires of bran
Sleep in the dust of Albion
cauldron of life, this sacred land,
the song of life a-flame
the fires of Bran

look out to the world
you’re not alone
this sacred land is the hand of home
every mind you touch
every heart
every life is the dust of your sacred path
chalice of life is shaped by your hand
who you know, love or hurt
by family, clan
by kin, by spirit – identity
by the sun and the moon
by history
by the stars, by dreams
by philosophy
the vision in your eye shapes your destiny
you’re footprints in the sand
on the shores of eternity

Chorus :
the song of life a-flame
