My heart's alive, my heart can move,
But hearts can break and hearts can bruise,
If not for wood and river, I would to my fate resign.

My heart can breathe, my heart can weep,
My heart could drown in bitter sleep,
If not for wind and water, I would to my fate resign.

Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard how you have been true to your word.

If not for tears and starlight, I would to my fate resign,
If not for blood and silver, I would to my fate, my pain resign.

Resign.
