Burial Blessing

1, 2, 3, 4...

I must go now for the grey woods
Call me Westwards, call me Westwards
Be not afraid
Sing and pray, cry and sway
As I enter the shade
Ah... (Sing and pray, cry and sway)
As I move away
Be not afraid

Bury me there in the old Earth's care
Bury me deep in the tombs by the sea
Bury me under the open air
Bury me in the roots of a tree

Oh bury me with ochre, [?]
Bury me without worry or sorrow on the knee

I must go now for the grey woods
Call me Westwards, call me Westwards
Be not afraid
Sing and pray, cry and sway
As I enter the shade
Sing and pray, cry and sway
As I move away
Be not afraid

Bury me whole in the totems of time
Bury me skin, flesh and bones
Bury me lain along temporal line
Bury me, on my head place white stones

Oh, bury me with ochre, [?]
Be my hand on the oar, to row to eternity

I will still be with you in the river's flow
In the undertow where the brambles grow
I will still be by you in the fox's eye
In the sea bird's cry, in the [?]

I must go now for the grey woods
Call me Westwards, call me Westwards
Be not afraid
Sing and pray, cry and sway
As I enter the shade
Ah... (Sing and pray, cry and sway)
As I move away
Be not afraid
