Wolves And Ravens

    It might be God or just whatever, but this night smells of incense
    The tall wood all around, mosses on the knoll
    Perhaps this iis a blessing or an ambush on our sence
    A good feeling to the touch, but such a chill through the soul
    There they go with their icons, with their icons so unknown
    Their path is lit by holy light from the water so deep
    I don't remember how we got up, how we walked out of the room
    II just remember how warm a it is that we seek
    Look at that Cathedral with its darkness under dome
    All eyes have searched there and all have seen but naught
    I would like to place a candel
    But they're sold right out of candels
    I'd light some liquor in my hand, but where can it be got?
    And the snows lie all around on all four sides of us
    Barefoot through the snow: no problem if your soul is pure
    We would have dissapeared for good
    But for the wolvesand the ravens
    They asked us wherewe're going, to that start so warm for sure ?
    Gilded all the crosses and stuck them in whenever
    The one cross truly given was traded for some wine
    And hungoverin the morning, went for water to the river
    And there instead of water it's the Mongol Post we found.
    We had wanted to give a sign so joyous to the angels
    But lost them from our sight erasing tracks of where we were
    Everyone would go out now and follow their signals
    If it were not for teh light of that star so pure
    What can we do now, how to sing if not for the hand so pure
    And if were do not sing we will burn up all alone
    But if I sing only a part the Orliki will come to me
    Along the murky water with their eyes as white as a stone
    Let them come all the same, I'm such a black bird myself
    There's nowhere left to run, a meter - then the ice for sure
    I'll cover you, you'll cover me, oh wolves and ravens
    So that somebody at least will make it to that start so pure
    So what do we care now, if there's darkness under dome
    So what do we care now, if we cannot see but naught
    And what do we care noe if thre're sold right out of candels
    Because if there is no fire, we know where it can be sought
    And maybe it is true that there's no path but his travelled one
    There may be no hands for miracles, but those so clean and sure
    Yet all the same we warmed only by the wolves annd ravens
    And they blessed us all the way to that star so pure
