Shaman

Mother wept for her son

she wept and sang

anxiously pondered fate

his and her own

A sun's ray, in through the eye

glimmered in the room of mind

changing the woman shape

sorrow fled her face

From the shaman into shaman

From the chimney a witch flew out

shaman dived across the sky

under her the woods and lakes

till she saw the Northland gates

I have come for my son, where is my son?

I accept no lies, no falsehods or deception

I'll send you plagues unnumbered

destruction upon your house

I lay to waste your treasures

and slay your fairest daughter

The queen of north told of the way

the road to River Black

impossible and incomplete

the path of no return
