lyrics

When the sun exploded, how mortal I felt.
I had never witnessed such beautiful colours and tones.
A tear for Cleobis and Biton, preserved in Delphic stone.

The flowers bloomed, gilded with gold as everything fell apart.
Trees uprooted, sparrows sung and the wind it roared –
Hawthorn and heather and gorse and willow, all stripped from the ground.

The warmest tear rolled down my cheek, because
I would never experience this moment again.
And if you told me I could live this all, once more, well
I don’t think I would have the strength.

The pain in your chest of crying for your lover
The warm embrace as you die with your brother
With childish eyes, I watched the sky
Split along with our dreams.
A cathartic release.
The bird song gleams.
