Firewater - Alasdair Roberts

How can I ever know you, how can I ever know you?

Know your way your way of living, until I know your way of dying?

And how will I remember, till I taste the nectar of your amber?

Where is the firewater, tonight where is the firewater?

Where is the firewater, tonight where is the firewater?

(Where is the firewater?)

How can I ever know you, how can I ever know you?

How can I know you full grown, till I’ve known you as a child?

How I will I ever tame you, until I know what makes you wild?

Where is the firewater, tonight where is the firewater?

(Where is the firewater?)

Where is the firewater, tonight where is the firewater?

(Where is the firewater?)

Dates are beat into a paste and laid within our databases

From that paste we make our mortar, quickened with the firewater

(where is the firewater?)

Then of course we hew the granite, from the deep part of the planet

(Where is the firewater?)

Sky above us, soil beneath us, we’ll build our library of aethers

(Library of aethers.)

Library of aethers, we’ll build our library of aethers

(Library of aethers.)

Where is the firewater, tonight where is the firewater?

(Where is the firewater?)

Where is the firewater, tonight where is the firewater?

It’s in the library of aethers
