Lyrics KORE At the omphalos The navel of the Earth I stumble through snow Newly fallen In a remote valley At the top of the world At the omphalos The navel of the Earth The bear trap bites the foot At the ridge where the blood runs blue I am shocked at the carnage Though I’ve lugged it cold and heavy such a long and lonely time At the omphalos The navel of the Earth My flesh drags itself Up and down the mountainsides Forwards and backwards at once Making bloody trails Of memory And warning At the omphalos The navel of the Earth At the omphalos The navel of the Earth Marlene Tholl, © (p) 2007 Marlene Tholl (BMI).
