Bilingual
Your legs walked your heart high
Your whole body is sprawling out
Major view wide
I'm on a boulder over alpine tops
On peaking, I watched you cross the water
(I watched you from above)
Into my eye, your grays and blues were blonde
Something that I held onto is leaving
The shape to what I saw has slowly died
You're higher on your hill
So your big black cloud will come
So your big black cloud will come
And press you to the ground
The air will leave your chest
You'll fade from where you're found
When you find you're standing still
And your fingers all go numb
Get higher on your hill
So your big black cloud will come
So your big black cloud will come
And press you to the ground
The air will leave your chest
You'll fade from where you're found
When you're finally standing still
And your fingers all go numb
Get higher on your hill
So your big black cloud will come
So your big black cloud will come
See what happens?
Do you see what happens?
When the big black death
Breathes on you with its breath?
I'm wild and wooly
Bloating bully
I'll strike you down and then
I'll strike you down again
Do you see what happens?
Do you see what happens?
When I peel away your bark
And stain your blue sky dark?
Your breath I take to live
Your death I ache to give
So take it to the end and crumble
Be smothered in my rumble (rumble)
A flash! And thunder booms!
Our lack of wonder blooms
I'll press you to the ground
You'll fade from where you're found
The way they share
(The flesh we tear, so innocent of memory)
They feast, we invite each bite
Into our flight
Since we give our blood now into you
And feathers from skin begin
I am the twilight upon the porch
And he follows you
I am the candle falling
Your hands gripping the tablecloth
Your eyes, only three years old
The way they share
The memory you did wear
And now your song, is inside them
