lyrics

Borne away on winds I can't rescind
on pleadings terse for eclipse reversed
for lunar skin stained red instead.
How opaque the inherent drapery all must bear
bereft of hope to find
the corona's pale though lingering halo
traced around a temporal human face.
Now under moon snuffed sun
sprouting skin assails enfleshing vales surrounding.
My failing limbs impart frostbitten hymns
in tongues of stone.
But sing o' muse
of my upturned eyes imbued
with gold leaf steadily dripping off the vellum dangling dead
from the branches overhead.
These parchments house the sun's extinguished trails
illumined in gold renderings.
Their suffused glows thaw thickening snows.
Depictions of eternal suns
entice my sullied state of ice.
