lyrics

That winter’s day I heard the song
When the nightingale cried
It killed our world, and in an instant
Glass sparrows fell from the sky

The hero and the serpent
Engaged and became one
A moment lost in nihil
Then the deed was past and done
So many lovely predators
Wherever you may go
There’s no place for such treasures
In a world of flying stones

*How could you shatter their wings and survive
How cruel would it be to keep the memory alive?
Nothing now but secrets sealed behind the broken beak
I wonder what the shards would say if only they could speak
Brother knows best
And he knew nothing then.

Pious and clairvoyant
We thought we knew it all
But the hands that fold in prayer
were too slow to stop your fall

Trusting in the spirits as if
They can lend a hand
Empty as the footprint
Where we all refused to stand
They said that man is noble
Merciful and good
So why do they say nothing
As you sink beneath the mud?

A lover’s caress
Can mean nothing then.
