Cold Runs the River

Cold runs the river Warm runs my blood The old signs quiver And my mind mountain releases a flood A life nerve in a barren era Raised in the heat of the sun I drink its potion from well and caldera Through earth-veins it flows, forming a canyon Ice draped rocks, flesh cover bones The cabals of eternity burn in the night As the watercourse that rinses all stones Unify my path with the river site Cold runs the river Warm runs my blood Groundwater recharge, blood pumping heart Circulation systems refined Streams of wonder, where my torrent starts Time and motion aligned Ice draped rocks, flesh cover bones The cabals of eternity burn in the night As the watercourse that rinses all stones Unify my path with the river site As the river of time and nature's crown Face season's last breath and the final exploration Cold runs the river Warm runs my blood The old signs quiver And my mind mountain releases a flood As the river of time and nature's crown Face season's last breath and the final exploration Ice draped rocks, flesh cover bones The cabals of eternity burn in the night
