Old Thunder Moon

from Moonlit Missive #81: "Old Thunder Moon" by In Gowan Ring

lyrics

Now in the dark morning
I feel it coming, fog rolling in
And over the distance
I hear him snarling, Old Thunder Moon

Take care with provisionary measures
Grains in the jars, beans in the cans
Collect the cache, mark the safe-route,
Chart contingency plans

Save a seed for a future,
For another time, another way
Hold heart for our portion,
For the birthright of a brighter day

May we have strength for the black time
May we see clear through the dark time,
Still keen of mind

Crooked men glut on confusion
Spin clever delusions with stolid deceit
Wroth with addled avarice,
Bloated in swollen conceit

Beware the hollow men
They’ve done it before, they’ll do it again
Take care your kin

As the rabble break the walls asunder
Brothers turn against brother
Wreaking vengeance on one another
The crying child, the wailing mother
The crying child, the wailing mother
As the rabble break the walls asunder
Brothers fighting brothers
The crying child, the wailing mother
The crying child, the wailing mother

Now in the darkness I take a moment
To think on the life we had
Give a kiss, shed a tear for the moment,
Our sweet moment, the life we had
Then with grace find a new day
In our hearts grown a new way

While the stars quake and shudder
On the wind’s midnight flutter
Hear the starts quake and shudder
On the wind’s midnight flutter
Drifting drifting in the dark
Drifting drifting to the stars
Falling, falling in the night
Falling falling to the sky

Now in the dark morning I feel it coming,
Fog rolling in
I feel it coming in the dark morning,
Fog coming in
