Sky Burial

歌詞

Fade into stars As god machines With our arms We will shape the world With this breath We become the world In parts I lie, staring at the clouds And listening to the vultures sing the husk beneath this shroud Brings alms to fallow wings Vines spring from my blood Wheat grows of my flesh and bone The birds descend from above To lift my body from the stone A fair trade, my clay for a soul So a pigeon thrives while I have passed The mountain justly claims its toll To break the raptors' fast Their shrieks soothe as siren calls Their talons dancer's hands Why angels don demon shawls Is not for us to understand I glide in feather's embrace Their beaks beckoning the frost To fly past the fog, to rise into grace And join the loved ones we had lost The falcons roost upon the wind I mediate until the morn Absorbing times I've loved and sinned At light I wake, a being reborn
