lyrics

she bellows through lock
as dark as the night
while the willows swallow her cries
alchemy and breath turn sangre to sap
as they weep for this maiden in flight

a boy appears with a candle so bright
blanching forest through scratched spectacles
he tramples the plots
of graves he has sown
searching shadow to tranfix the light

the void and the spaces
existence in stasis
he looks towards the north star
that the darkness encases

gilded by silhouettes of willows wept dry
alight from a taper held high
the forest a flame, turned ashen terrain
they are all that remains

and like a biblical verse,
earth's creation reversed,
they sink through the hour glass sand
shadow and light erased by the night
they awake to a new day at hand

the void and the spaces
existence in stasis
she looks towards the light house
that the darkness encases

with the skeletons swept up
they walk side by side
painting contours with blossoming lore
the songs they sing imbue everything
a new day the past falls away
