Omens - Metal Mother

An Samhradh, an Fhomhair

An Geimhreadh, an tEarrach

Cuimhnigh i gconai

Damhsa Cailleach

Last time I was here

Wearing plastic bag as a shield

Sheltered by an ancient stone

Much larger than the cross in the field

An Samhradh, an Fhomhair

An Geimhreadh, an tEarrach

Cuimhnigh i gconai

Damhsa Cailleach

A million years of ashes spring to life

We have reached the moment of the turning of the tides

Hidden in a world underground

An orphan now is daughter to a mother she has found

Inside a vision

Untouched by bitterness

A torch in the darkness

The only thing I trust

A switch, I was jolted

Electrified the earth

The current crept in sideways

And let me know my worth

A rock in the ocean

A wet and soggy mire

Preserved in a capsule

And purified by fire

To stop to rewind

Slow motion kind of day

Not new not changing

And Nothing went away

The rock the ocean

Unreal state of grace

Perceived the motion

Of something lost in space
