Together to grieve we carry him high On shoulders of youth to where the land meets the sky A place is chosen and carefully prepared A circle of stone to defend all the strength he shared
CHORUS And now the old one has broken away Now the old one has left with the dawn Now the old one has broken away Gone from the fire his face from the glow, His light fades away but he still guides the way that we go
The stone is ready and waits for the word A sacred symbol that’s shouted but never is heard Face the east with the shadows and lines Carefully placed with the trust of the sacred signs CHORUS
Now we place him in the womb of the land The branch has broken and melts with the grain of the sand Now he is lowered to sleep in the sun Rest your head gently the weary the wise one CHORUS
