Silent Waters

3. Silent Waters

A day's light told me of my son's fate

the sun showed the way, grim and severe

pulled under the raging waters, my child

sank in the drowning currents, my son

My strength is not enough, my powers failed me

I need the heavens help, I ask for thunder's force

I plead for you oh lightning, forge an iron tool

a magic rake of dragging, a river for my son

God of fire bring your light

forger of sun help me now

guardian of the shore will sleep in your warmth

lull the folk of cold water

banish the serpents of the dark

to the river let me go and fetch my son away

A rake made of iron from the Gods of skies

the spirit of bright days sent me the sun

cold troops of Tuoni can not stand in my way

untouched I shall walk by the river of the night

my child

my son
