about

Sial -the sage, the mourner, the angel- retires by the river, singing songs of former peregrinations, speculations, escapades; He wanders no more.

lyrics

Sial sings songs south of the river - Sial the sage
Sial serves voices so strangely they seem - Sial the mourner
There are no challengers here to his strange mystery

In the ages when his wild angels were wandering
South of the river to the cemetery calling

Out of the wild wilderness wandering
The forest of bones amid the wild wolves howling

Lately in mourning south of the river - Sial the Angel
Sial the sage of the ages is calling - He wanders no more
He watches and waits through the wind and the wild storm

All through the lands of the lilting lovers
The babies of angels their sons and their daughters
Following, following down through fields they wandered

Sial sings songs south of the river - Sial the sage
Sial serves voices so strangely they seem - Sial the Mourner
He watches and waits through the wind and the wild storm

Sial the sage of the ages is calling - Sial the angel
Sial the sage, the mourner, the angel - He wanders no more
