about

"The Seventh Fire - The Crossroad" was the first track written and the impetus to composing the original 8 song suite that tells the ancient but relevant Anishinaabe story of "The Seven Fires Prophecy".

Kim teamed once again with Grammy nominated producer Jon Evans (Tori Amos / Sarah McLachlan) to record her third album "The Seven Fires Prophecy Suite for Humanity" to be released 08/11/23. The story comes to life with Jon's thoughtful musical soundscapes and orchestral compositions.

Grammy nominated instrumentalist Matthias Bossi provides the percussion / drum foundation for this track.

lyrics

The Seventh Fire: The Crossroad
(By Kim Moberg | ©2020 Kim Moberg Music ASCAP)

They traveled ‘cross the land
West on Turtle Isle
They traveled ‘cross the land
Sparked by the First Fire

Look for the sacred shells
As prophets did foretell
Stopping at the site where food
On the water fell

And the fire still burns
Yes the fire still burns

A shadow dark and long
Loomed across this blessed land
A shadow dark and long
Waived it’s venal hand

All that was known
Lay in ashes of betrayal
Pieces of their promises

Littered on the trail

And the fire still burns
Yes the fire still burns
And the sun will rise
And the winds will cry
And the sea will heal our tears

See the eagle soar
Hear the drumming roar
All gather and seek the circle

The Seventh Flame is nigh
Heed what has been lost
The Seventh Flame is nigh
Pay attention to the cost

Awaken the wisdom
As bitter rivers flow
Choose the path to unify
Return to what is known

And the fire still burns
Yes the fire still burns
And the sun will rise
And the winds will cry
And the sea will heal our tears
