A Thousand Birds

Birds were falling down

From the sky that we once found

The fires that burned the clouds

Now ashes resting on the ground

Just follow the frozen lake

And sail the ocean before you break

Into a thousand dreams

Your hair the colour of midnight star

Your eyes so bright were looking far

Through forests

Through rain and through sun

Like a bullet leaving a killers gun

Determined to take the life

Of the virgin

The whore and the faithful wife

And the angel with broken wings

Glass shattered on the floor

And holes were punched in the walls

I screamed but no one heard

Down in my knees through the dirt

Yeah I cursed all of your gods

And I prayed with an open heart

But time still took your breath

And I got lost in cowardness

And you would fly alone

You were so beautiful

Without you I feel so cold

The only colour I see is black

Since you're not with me

I don't know if you have heard

About the thousand birds

That now lie dead on the ground
