Another First Son

As the first son of another first son
I'm bound by an oath not to be the last one
But I broke it
Pushed down the river our backs to the sea
They had to decide what to do about me
But I don't care

I lie awake in brambles and weeds
And I hear the sound of the hooves of their steeds
Til they're gone

I pushed a path past a prophet in robes
He told me he read in his oracle bones
Of my fortune
I'd crack the stones of another man's cairn
An omen the ancients had said would ring out
Like a warning

I lie awake in brambles and weeds
And I hear the sound of the hooves of their steeds
Til they're gone
