lyrics

Sing o hills
Quietly goes it

Let the groans
Under the winds
Turn to chanting
Plain and long
Long and meandering

Do you feel it
Through the ground
Through your two knees
There is a sound
Beneath all hearing

Do you feel
The hidden heartbeat
Of the ground
As you lay down
Upon her earthen chest

Ready, she, to
Open the
Abyss for all the
Violence that
Amasses

Gaping wide to
Swallow up
The torrents that have
Hammered every
Woman

Gaping wide to
Take back all the
Beasts that
Tore the oil from her
Bosom

Gaping wide to
Take down into
Fire the armoured
Chariots of
Conquerors

Gaping wide to
Sing a new song
Up into the
Skies toward the
Leaves on the trees

And the old sea roars and everything in it
And the teeming world and all who live in it
And the waters clap their fierce ancient hands
Let the hills sing the song they have been keeping
And the waters clap their fierce ancient hands
Let the hills sing the song thats down there sleeping
Because its coming
