i will lay down my bones among the rocks and roots

• the torment has ended
  the beast has done his work
  great fires rage outside of this wooded sanctuary
  
  but soon they will be quenched by a purifying rain
  the embers of the ceremonial fire burn to ash
  a new warmth stirs within the center of the earth
  i am alone here no more
  
  the wood is filled with the sounds of wildness
  the songs of birds fill the forest on this new morning
  this will be my new home
  deep within the most sacred grove
  the sun god is born anew
  
  i will lay down my bones among the rocks and roots of the deepest hollow next to the streambed
  the quiet hum of the earth's dreaming is my new song
  
  when i awake, the world will be born anew
