In this track, the tribe heave the sun up from the horizon and then celebrate it’s joyful magnificence.

This is the penultimate track of the album and is the sister track to the second track "In The Belly Of An Ice Giant".

lyrics

RAISING THE SUN

I fought with a frost that was cruel to the bone
I danced on a lke that was harder than stone
Through darkness I mourned you on the longest of nights
But now with your raising my world becomes bright

Raise, raise, raise, raising the sun
Raise, raise, raise, raising the SUN.

DREAM OF LIGHT

A dance through the darkness will bring you back home
A sleep in the cold earth till warmth brings the dawn
Your golden rays flickering were a dream of my nights
And now with your waking, my world becomes light.

I'm up on a hill top with with space all around
My feet in the earth and my head in the clouds

I'm up on a hill top and I'm breathing in deep
The earth pushing up through the soles of my feet

One tiny step forward sets a beat in the drum
And I'm rolling down hill to the bright... sun
To the bright summer sun
I'm rolling down hill to the bright summer sun.

LET IT SHINE

Let it shine...
Let it shine...
Let it shine...
Let it shine...
Let it shine...
Shine, shine, shine, shine...
Shine.
