Ice to the Flame: copyright David Harley, 1977
Backup:
Turn to the morning and trust to the dawn
With the sun in your face take the chance to be born
Leave all the leavings that time has outgrown
Turn to the morning and trust to the dawn
Ice to the flame, the sun to the rain
I am Life, I am Death, and Love is my name
Wind on the water, a blight on the heart
The fall of the dice and the turn of the card
Axe to the tree, the scythe to the corn
Turn to the morning and trust to the dawn
Ice to the flame, the sky to the sea
All is One and All is in me
Tongue to the bell, an end to the start
Trust to time, lend an ear to your heart
Wax to the candle and brass to the horn
Turn to the morning and trust to the dawn
Ice to the flame, the sun to the rain
I am Life, I am Death, and Love is my name
Rust to the sword, an edge to the blade
The Healer, the Scourge, the Price to be Paid
Love is the Singer and Love is the Song
Turn to the morning and trust to the dawn
Ice to the flame, the sky to the sea
All is One and All is in Me
Blood on the dagger, a fire in the veins
The sweet and the bitter, rainbow and rain
The Knight and the Jester, the Queen and the Pawn
Turn to the morning and trust to the dawn
Ice to the flame, the sun to the rain
I am Life, I am Death and Love is my name
The sort of song I never, ever write. But I’d had a couple of very bad years. And that’s all I’m going to say about that right now.
