van der graaf generator - firebrand lyrics
sunday night, twelve weeks before winter,
the world is in a smoky haze.
suddenly there appears a rider in the east,
brandishing flame.
“i ride an icy stallion, fire at each end
and poison at the centre;
you won’t hear my words as i scream into the darkness:
his plans are like a firebrand,
his plans are like a firebrand.”
his steed strains as he reaches out over the reins
and hurls his flame at the west.
the mountains dissolve in fire
and he races through them, screaming:
“i ride an icy stallion, fire at each end
and poison at the centre;
you won’t hear my words as i scream into the darkness:
his plans are like a firebrand,
his plans are like a firebrand.”
he rides on into the further darkness
brandishing his flame like a spear
and below him there races his ghost steed
draping the night in fear
“i ride an icy stallion, fire at each end
and poison at the centre;
you won’t hear my words as i scream into the darkness:
his plans are like a firebrand,
his plans are like a firebrand.”
njal, beware and heed the words
which emanate from hildiglum.
