Raise the Fires

Mist on the water, smoke on the hill
The old stones are waiting, the night's standing still
I walked out of the forest with woad on my hands
And a song in my chest from the edge of the land

Hear the drum, hear the call
One by one we rise, we rise

Raise the fires on the hill tonight
Let the ravens carry the light
Every heart that beats like mine
Sing it loud, one more time
Oh, oh, raise the fires
Oh, oh, raise the fires

Wolves in the heather, wind off the sea
The old wives' stories still running through me
They told me be quiet, they told me be small
But the storm in my blood never listened at all

Hear the drum, hear the call
One by one we rise, we rise

Raise the fires on the hill tonight
Let the ravens carry the light
Every heart that beats like mine
Sing it loud, one more time
Oh, oh, raise the fires
Oh, oh, raise the fires

When the dark comes down and the cold winds bite
I'll be the spark in the long black night
Stone by stone and flame by flame
The old gods know my name

Raise the fires on the hill tonight
Let the ravens carry the light
Every heart that beats like mine
Sing it loud, one more time
Oh, oh, raise the fires
Oh, oh, raise the fires

Raise the fires
Raise the fires on the hill
