Lyrics

Have you seen the ghosts of trees Where the riverbank was there? Do they shiver in the breeze Rooted high in empty air? Have you heard the ghosts of stone Speaking in the dust you raise Whispering to you alone As you thread the maze? Black eye and yellow eye: move and live, be still and die How will you capture the anarchy and rapture Glaring through black eye and yellow eye? Black eye rises on black wing Yellow eye looks up to sing Broken songs with rasping throat Blowing glowing rings of smoke Girdling the granite stars As the fire he awoke Glows behind the cards Black eye and yellow eye watching the dissolving sky Black eye and yellow eye: move and live, be still and die Glaring through black eye and yellow eye? Will you cross the bridge of silver? Will you cross the bridge of steel? Will you cross the bridge of bone Will you smash the frozen veil? Will you dare the shaman's trail? Will you ken the tale through omens Written in your blood? This night on the road he dies There will be no corpse by dawn Death's an order he denies Still, sometimes he tries it on He will give no hand to guide -- He will only bid you dance Or be swept aside Black eye and yellow eye watching the dissolving sky Black eye and yellow eye: move and live, be still and die
