Lyrics
FOR BLODEUWEDD
Music by Logan Sullivan/words by Arthur Hinds
The crimson sun
dapples the green
leaf and bloom
before me play
Standing alone
I'm half unseen
half unfilled
at dawn of day
Then from the earth
You rise in splendor
source of passion
balance and flame
Both Sun and sky
And I surrender
at your feet my
shield and name.
Before the twilight falls
You and I are bright and green
Before the future calls
You and I stand in between
Fear is a prison, doubt is a wall
kiss me before the twilight falls
Before the twilight falls
Before the twilight falls
Dance of meadow
feathers beating
sing forever
the spiral tune
Live the moment
now is fleeting
join me here
our path is hewn
So stand with me
through joy and tears
testing honor
that holds you thrall
Come take my hand
I take your fears
one last kiss
ere twilight falls
Before the twilight falls
You and I are bright and green
Before the future calls
You and I stand in between
Fear is a prison, doubt is a wall
kiss me before the twilight falls
Before the twilight falls
Before the twilight falls
