lyrics

Last night anew, this haunted dream
Two beacons shine down by the sea
And something there approaches me
I woke and rose most peacefully

This swollen tomb, this empty well,
Has split apart the children’s sides
And scraped its coins across its teeth
And thrown their bones out to the tide

The heron’s brood is quiet now
Their blood drunk deep beneath the reeds
And when the moon draws back their graves
They’ll wrap their murderer in wreaths

Last night anew, this haunted dream
I woke and rose most peacefully
