lyrics

(The Martyr's March )

If you die and if you die
you are bound for heaven
I know the thorn, I know the vine
you are bound for heaven, I -

If you fall and if you fall
your mother she'll gather up
your body in a silken shroud
and lift you from the Ashen Grove

She'll take you to the river, down
wash you in waters brown
bury you with wooden crown
and walk with white eyes

Earth abounds
but veiled in heaven's light

If you fall and if you fall
your father he'll gather all
your wishes, silver on the ground
and lift them from the Ashen Grove

He'll take them up the mountain far
Throw them as dust to stars
Open arms to heaven's hearth
A father's Utterings - blown apart.
