about

Lyrics adapted in part from a medieval English hymn, author unknown

lyrics

My heart is set on speaking of forms, changed in to new bodies. The fox, like a grave robber, steals while the night is asleep. See how he's armed with wolfish teeth--drinking, drinking, but he's still thirsty.

I'm like Hydra. I'm richer for the loss of heads. You think I'm wild? I'm savage. But knots are made to be unravelled.

You think I'm coming from the dark side? Yes, I am.
You think I'm dark-sided...Yes, I am.

I'm adding brilliance to the light. I'm dirty.
I'm adding water to the river. I'm dirty.
I'm adding stones to the forest. I'm dirty.
I'm adding voices to the chorus.
