Three Words

From all the four corners From the heights beyond the changing skies From in between the golden stars From lands of dead below I seek the magic for my spell The power for my charm For want of three words For want of three words for my song Three words for my magic song A boat for love I’d carve Three words for my magic song A craft of life I’d build Along the Tuoni pathway To gloomy shore Across the lands of dead To find the missing charm Death’s maiden showed the way To death’s grim abode Where death’s wife offered me Death’s drink to have Three words for magic Three words from Death
