The Hill I Will Die On - AA

[Verse] On the day I am in love I shall pull my love to me Pile a cairn above the heart Lay my body at her feet [Verse] And she shall know that I am true Her noontide and her night Who lives without me in her arms Lives so only out of spite Spite that she cannot deny This is the hill I will die on [Verse] On the day I am in rage I shall call my woman down That she quicken by my side And my foot-falls mute the sound [Chorus] When we're surrounded I hold my knife Where spear and arrows sigh If your spirit does not sharpen mine It is a falsehood and a lie Life 'neath the expiring sun This is the hill I will die on [Bridge] Better hateless I should go Between the oak and beech trees Every word a lover speaks Revert back to the mighty sea [Chorus] When we are dust again And shaking-off the robe we shall be wed to And only you 'neath the witness Who will know my love exceeds Where spirit is perpetual Beneath our sycamore so tall And sweetness is perennial As creek can fill its pool with fall Would that you could hold so dear From the start to end of year Until the sun turns all
