Intro

with piano):

Verse 1

  A day's light told me, of my son's fate

  the sun showed the way, grim and severe

  pulled under the raging, waters my child

  sank in the drowning, currents my son,

BRIDGE, w/ *Riff 1

 My Son.....

Verse 2

  My strength is not enough, my powers failed me

  I need the heavens help, I ask for thunder's force

  I plead for you oh lightning, forge an iron tool

  a magic rake of dragging, a river for my son

BRIDGE, w/ *Riff 1

 My Son...

CHORUS

  God of fire bring your light

  forger of sun, help me now

  Guardian of the shore will sleep,

  In your warmth..

  Lull the folk of cold water,

  banish the serpents of the dark.

  To the river, let me go

  and fetch my son away

INTRO, w/ *Riff 2

Verse iii

  A rake made of iron, from the Gods of skies

  the spirit of bright days, sent me the sun

  Cold troops of Tuoni, cannot stand in my way

  untouched I shall walk by the river of the night

BRIDGE, w/ "solo riff"

CHORUS

  God of fire bring your light

  forger of sun, help me now

  Guardian of the shore will sleep,

  In your warmth..

  Lull the folk of cold water,

  banish the serpents of the dark.

  To the river, let me go

  and fetch my son away
