about

This song was originally recorded on my Ogham Inside the Night album.

lyrics

Ogham in the Ground
We fought death in the field fired with our spark.
We said we’d out-do death armed with gods and bark.
We saw death in the field and ciphered in the stars.
He said he’d plant a seed to show us how it ends
is how it must start.

On the seed he scribed in brown ‘touch death gingerly’.
Per fess his bony hand, slit-throat Grauballe.
Ageless he presses Lindow, our compressed woe,
leather strap futhark oghamed in the ground.

And he planted the seed in Århus soil.
Seed belly harnessed to the toil.

He carved the face from peat, sleeping palimpsest. Formed the mouth as his own: Tired of the living.
And he crowned his king Mud Regulus to rule,
gold of plenty to grow, our fears to fuel.

And he planted the seed in Århus soil.
Seed belly harnessed to the toil.
And he planted the seed in Århus soil.
Seed belly noosed to the field.
