Out of pain my song rises,
Out of the dark.
Through the mist it soars
Into the night.
Higher and higher it flies
Too high to see,
Reaching the unreachable
The unknown.
Out of the depth my song rises
Out of the dark,
Plunging into the water
Into the night.
Deeper and deeper it falls
Too deep to feel,
Singing still, ringing quietly
In the halls of the dead.
Out of the dream my song rises,
Out of the dusk
Between day and night,
Sun and moon.
Beating wildly are its wings,
Unclipped, untamed
Is the spirit,
Uncatcheable is the voice.
Out of memory my song rises,
Out of the past,
Unwinding time,
Uniting spaces.
Louder and louder it sings,
Passion drives it forth,
Bleeding and burning,
It sings out.
Out of love and loss my song rises
Out of the abyss
Left in my heart and mind
By the passing of Taliesin.
