๐ Lyrics
Snow melts as winter gives way to spring
The sun bursts through the mournful skies
The dew like pearls on blades of grass
The world turns over in its sleep
And stirs awake
I drag my shriveled body out of bed
And peer out to the crowd below
I shun the daylight and the morning air
As I hide myself from the world
The day is lost
The world is regrowing, now my time comes due
Old life must always give way to the new
I shall relinquish my flesh to the earth
And face the great wheel of rebirth
This body is withered, wounded and spent
The vultures will feast on my weakening flesh
High on the plateau is where I transform
And pray to be swiftly reborn
Children stare at me with wide open mouths
And call after me as I pass them by
Silently I make my way to the mountain pass
And prepare for the perilous climb
No living soul sees me struggle uphill
As I ascend past the vast reach of time
Ice cold winds tear at my cloak and face
As I climb up to that naked sky
And as the dust falls on my open eyes
And my frail body lies sprawled on the rocks
The dreadful weight of the heavens crushes me
And the firmament swallows me up
The sun bursts through the mournful skies
The dew like pearls on blades of grass
The world turns over in its sleep
And stirs awake
I drag my shriveled body out of bed
And peer out to the crowd below
I shun the daylight and the morning air
As I hide myself from the world
The day is lost
The world is regrowing, now my time comes due
Old life must always give way to the new
I shall relinquish my flesh to the earth
And face the great wheel of rebirth
This body is withered, wounded and spent
The vultures will feast on my weakening flesh
High on the plateau is where I transform
And pray to be swiftly reborn
Children stare at me with wide open mouths
And call after me as I pass them by
Silently I make my way to the mountain pass
And prepare for the perilous climb
No living soul sees me struggle uphill
As I ascend past the vast reach of time
Ice cold winds tear at my cloak and face
As I climb up to that naked sky
And as the dust falls on my open eyes
And my frail body lies sprawled on the rocks
The dreadful weight of the heavens crushes me
And the firmament swallows me up
