Gone Again

Hey, now man's own kin

We commend into the wind

Grateful arms, grateful limbs

Grateful soul he's gone again

I have a winter's tale

How vagrant hearts relent prevail

Sow their seed into the wind

Seize the sky and they're gone again

Fame is fleeting, God is nigh

We raise our arms to him on high

We shoot our flint into the sun

We bless our spoils and we're gone we're gone

Hey, now man's own kin

We commend into the wind

Grateful arms, grateful limbs

Grateful heart he's gone again

Here a man, man's own kin

Turned his back and his own people shot him

And he fell on his knees

Before the burning plain

And he beheld fields of gold his land, his son

And he arose his blood aflame

Clouds pressed with hand prints stained

One last breath, the sky is high

The hungry earth, the empty vein

The ashes's rain, death's own bed

Man's own kin into the wind

One last breath, hole in life

Love knot tied, braid undone

A child born, the hollow horn

A warrior cried, a warrior died

One last breath, lick of flame

Spirit moaned, spirit shed

The heavens fed man's own kin

Grips the sky and he's gone again

Hey, now man's own kin

He ascends into the wind

Grateful arms, grateful limbs

Grateful heart is gone again

Hey, now man's own kin

We lay down into the wind

Grateful arms, grateful limbs

Grateful man he's gone again
