words and music by Eric Gant and Timothy H. Patton
lyrics
Chorus:
Laguz flows
Life force dormant
Waits for ice
And fire to form it
You’re born of water
And sprinkled on the head
And at the end of life you cross
The river of the dead
Ancient Nerthus rules Laguz
Mother of the Lady and Lord
Guardian of lake and harbor
Norsemen call him Niord
Chorus
Swell and fades in tides
Like water, ebbs and flows
Gets to where it’s going
By yielding to the stone
Water runs downhill
The soil to moisten
But when it stands and stagnates
It brews up a poison
Chorus
Water and a ship
Can take you places
A difficult journey
Can age men’s faces
Water can nourish
And water can drown
Flow can be ridden
But it cannot be bound
Chorus
