Album: Swaddling Songs

Hell's awake and the devil crows
greets the day with a gale
that blow beyond his furthest realm

into Daniel's kingdom
Who has woken who has broken
Dan the Wing's infernal dreams?
the devil's croak and gale
awoke Daniel from his dreams
Dan's awake and the starlings fly
rooks and ravens fill
the sky around his mighty head
rising from the mountain
"Who has woken who has broken
every nightmare's bridle so?
I think I smell the gates of hell
I think I can smell the devil!"

"Dan!" the ravens cry, "Beware!
and heed no sign on that gale!
Dan, the devil calls you
beckons you to Hell!
Dan, the devil calls you, Dan!"

Dan's away with a mighty roar
spans the sky till he spies
the shore of Hell and the sea of son
and the blackness of that ocean
Hell's a-grumbling, Daniels' tumbling
from the sky at the devil's curse
"The sinful sea of Hell
will be Dan the Fin's dominion!"

"Dan!" the ravens cry, "the devil
wrote your name on that gale
Dan, the devil called you
beckoned you to Hell!
Dan, the devil has you flow!"
