We fled in raining ashes Crawled through burning trees Our welts and tattood lashes Left among the cypress knees
Gold, a deep molasses In up past our knees Lure, the hope of freedom Awaits our weary feat
Twelve days and many nights Led by eternal light Into her arms Darkness to match our flight Free from the black and white Into her arms
In the bed of the gods of old Rise up above the free There's cleansing fire flying Higher than these hanging trees
Can't rest our gaze from freedom Herald the heron's cry We're in the throes of living Alive for the first time
Twelve days and many nights Led by eternal light Into her arms Darkness to match our flight Free from the black and white Into her arms
Twelve days and many nights Led by eternal light Into her arms Darkness to match our flight Free from the black and white Into her arms Twelve days and many nights Led by eternal light Into her arms Darkness to match our flight Free from the black and white Into her arms
