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 son 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 for dragging a river for my son 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 cannot stand in my way Untouched I shall walk by the river of the night 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 My child, my son My child, my son My child, my son My child, my son
