Lyrics
(Ooh)
Birds of prey spiral around my head
They hiss songs of your birth
They caw visions of death
I've watched it happen again and again
Haunted by
A thousand kind beginnings
And a thousand bloodied ends
I shouldn't play with fate
But what if once, I could make you safe?
So while you think you're alone
You cast two shadows down the road
Where you have buried all your past lives' bones
The two red suns in the sky, blink
My pity-filled eyes
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
If you'd just look up I could be your guide
Why can't I catch your eye how you've caught tens of mine
Eye in the sun
You're all I see
Why won't you look at me?
I'm the embers bright (Ooh)
Flitting lightning flies
Blinks my eye in the sun
In the hints of split sky
I'm the dying fire
In the birthing light
And I'll break every bind
That I'm blighted by
You're blind to all my warning cries
When I speak in dust devils, crop circles, flocks of mayflies
So I've no choice but to come down
Pardon my steps shaking the ground (ha)
So while you think you're alone
You cast two shadows down the road
Where you have buried all your past lives' bones
The two red suns in the sky, blink
My pity-filled eyes
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
But the birds on my shoulders prepare for a feast
You can taste it in the air
The soon-to-be dead meat
Eye in the sun
You're all I see
Why don't you look at me?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
My breath heaves down your nape
Wrestlin' you 'way, but I'm too late
A body rests
Dagger in chest
The heart in your hands drips
As its soul crawls from splintered ribs
