Open your eyes, Salamander, and breathe
Called by my mother's voice into a world of water, stone, and softenin' wood
Growin' strong on the dark wet food of literature and leaves
Then the rain burned and father learned to cry
And we in the gardens of our enemies
Learned to die or learned to hide our losses
In the evergray of mornin'
Eating poison
Strong from poison, alive in the arms of death
Last of the Salamanders, child of the first breath!
Salamander in two worlds!
Water and fire!
Salamander in two worlds!
Water and fire!
Open your eyes, Salamander, and breathe!
Strong from poison, alive in the arms of death
Last of the Salamanders, child of the first breath!
Strong from poison, alive in the arms of death
Last of the Salamanders, child of the first breath!
Salamander in two worlds!
Water and fire!
Salamander in two worlds!
Water and fire!
