Over the abyss

Oh sacred wood I’m here
To ask again to you
To wash away my fear

Oh sacred pool I’m here
And Christmas is not far
I have my face full of tears

I’ve got the time and the strength this afternoon 
To walk far from the house, deep in the wood 
And after a long long walking 
Finally I came without knowing 
Over the abyss 
Where certitudes 
Disappear 

Oh sacred stone so high
The solstice is so near
I watch beasts in the sky *

Oh sacred glade so wide
Tell me how do prepare
Me for the winter nights

I’ve got the time and the strength this afternoon 
To walk far from the house, deep in the wood 
And after a long long walking 
Finally I came without knowing 
Over the abyss 
Where certitudes 
Disappear
