Translation
Bilingual
Wind unknown in a room untouched
Both as clean as river stones
A darkened throne in a hollow womb
Both left barren and unsawn
So of crowns and so of wings
Both as brittle as tiny bones
As thin as ghosts whose shadows pass
Through abandoned ancient homes
Won't you wrap me in my burial shroud
Fire spins in outstretched hands
Palms turned skyward, holding light
Dumbfounded looks on strangers faces
Let us know we done it right
But trouble seems to always know
Where to find us as we rest
We pay forth in adorations
And we know we too are blessed
So wrap me in my burial should
Let the silence melt these wounds
And seal my eyes shut tight
And these prayers fly straight as arrows
Through hell and blackest night, ohh
ย
In a hopeless place, we fell in love
There's no escaping what we've become
Stillness trembles at the mention
Of the total of the sum
When them horseman come across the hillside
We will greet them standing tall
What more to do when faced with that
Which gallops over where we soon fall
So wrap me in my burial shroud
Let the silence melt these wounds
And seal my eyes shut tight
And these prayers fly straight as arrows
Through hell and blackest night
Lift these burdens from my heart
Lay me down with those I love
To the waters of forgiveness
Melt these memories washed rid of, hmm
