When The Gods Came
Lyrics
As worms upon the forest floor
Swarming were they and a-stirring
Twisting upwards and a-swirling
As eagles soaring to the sky
With the eyes of dragonflies
Ears of eager leather wings
On the wings of black-throat divers
By the honeyed paws of bears
Telling us what it means to be
Chanting us into being
Came the Gods to our people
Told us how a man should be
They taught us how to live our lives
Came the Gods to our people
Chanting us into the world
They taught us how to live our lives
They lead us to a woodland spring
To show us our shining reflection
There they attuned our senses
And fit us with ability, uh
In the winds of the unknown
We heard the swan being to sing
The stars were our sure guides
Dreams showed us the way to go
Telling us what it means to be
Chanting us into being
Came the Gods to our people
Told us how a man should be
They taught us how to live our lives
Came the Gods to our people
Chanting us into the world
They taught us how to live our lives
In the daze of the unknown
Yeah, by the winds of distant heavens
Beckoned by the unknown skies
Yeah, by the winds of distant heavens
Beckoned by the unknown skies
