Pyres on the Coast lyrics

They came once

And they will come again

Their sails darken the moon

Black flags waving in the night

They think they'll catch us unawares

The fires were lit in the night

Their ships carried by rushing waves

But the salmon sang what he heard

The eagle told what he saw

The fires were lit in the night

The fires were lit in the night

Their slave-ships the foams spat out

The raiders of the black waves

They moored their ships to our shores

But the salmon sang what he heard

The eagle told what he saw

The fires were lit in the night

Can you see the pyres on the coast

The fires in the night

From hill to hill the message rings

We know they are coming

Behold the pyres on the coast

The fires in the night

From hill to hill the message rings

We know they are coming

Into bears turned our men

Into wolves our brave women

Into birds our children

Into fire our wise elders

But the salmon sang what he heard

The eagle told what he saw

The fires were lit in the night

Can you see the pyres on the coast

The fires in the night

From hill to hill the message rings

We know they are coming

Behold the pyres on the coast

The fires in the night

From hill to hill the message rings

We know they are coming

We know they are coming
