daithi - bog bodies lyrics

[verse 1]
daithi was a journeyman
far and wide across the land
always sang the same old song
under the stars he’d rant along
he saw fire by the road
to let the weary traveler know
there was rest to be found in the cave of the cats
so we went deep*down, in the cave of the cats

[verse 2]
bean an tí the morrigan
had rosary beads and shattered palm
smiling as she offered tea
that made daithi sleep and rest easy
a deeper sleep, he nеver knew
his thousand lives livеd anew
out of body, direct to mind
beyond the reach of death and time

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
up he flew, and off he tore
through the stars his soul did soar
’til at last, he came to dance
half*awake and half*entranced
he traveled to a far*off land
under his feet now was red sand
a rainbow serpent he did see
and the ancestral corroboree
[verse 4]
the witch, she poured away a while
laid back down to beguile
daithi as he came down along
to tame the dragon and slay the swan
she said “on the hill top you must burn
a fire big enough to turn
the faith of men down in the town
state your claim upon the crown”

[vocalizing]

[outro]
so raise a glass, at last we dance
our shared experience enhanced
whether you go far, or you stay here
live this life without fear!
