Morva's Marshes Lyrics

Orddu
What do I see, say can it be
This little duckling’s come back to me
Here in the marshes the sun never shines
Beyond the borders of time
Few men in Prydain the courage could find
To brave the marshes, their quest on their minds
And no one ever returned here again
So you’re the bravest of men
Don’t tell why you’ve come here
We see all

Taran
As you know all there is and will be
All the future holds

Orddu
Morva’s marshes know the secrets of the universe
Any poor man’s fate and any blessing, any curse
If you’re seeking wisdom be prepared to pay the price
Nothing for nothing, doom for malicious lies

Taran
The first time we met, remind what I said
I gave you my treasure while still tears I shed
Since then I’ve found nothing I have prized more
Will you now show me the door

Orddu
Mem’ries of golden haired girls they would do
Yet I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do

Gurgi
Orddu oh don’t turn my master away
Is there nothing you can say

Orddu
There is nothing on earth we can give
Yet while truth’s unspoken others may be there
There was an ousel that knew all things
Yet it has long flown far away
The salmon of Lake Llew so wise
Yet it has seen its final day
But there is one thing on my mind
High in the mountains, far to go
The Mirror of Llunet awaits
It might show you what you must know

Taran & Gurgi
Never have I heard this tale

Orddu
Trust a witch’s words

Taran & Gurgi
The mirror’s what may lift the veil

Orddu
Trust the flight of birds

Taran & Gurgi
Follow where eagles may go

Orddu
See your destiny

Taran & Gurgi
If I find it will I know

Orddu
Nothing is for free
