"Your legs walked your heart high
Your whole body sprawling out made your view wide"
I'm on a boulder over alpine tops I'm peeking
I watched you across the water in the evening
"I watched you from above"
Into my eye your grays
And blues were blown
"To your eyes I'm blown"
The something that I held onto is leaving
The shape to what I saw has slowly grown
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
Rah Do you see what happens?
What?
Do you see what happens?
What?
When the Big Black Death
Breathes on you with his breath
I'm wild and woolly
A bloating bully
I'll strike you down and then
I'll strike you down again
Do you see what happens?
What?
Do you see do you see what happens?
Do you see what happens?
What?
Do you see do you see what happens?
When I peel away your bark
Huh?
And stain your blue sky dark
Your breath I take to live
Your Death I ache to give
Uh
So take me in and crumble
Be smothered in my rumble
Rumble
My flash of thunder booms
Booms
Your lack of wonder looms
Looms
I 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 feast
They invite each bite
We invite each bite
Into flight
Into our flight
Since blood now wind
We give our blood to you
And feathers from skin begin
I am the twilight upon the porch
A leaf falls into your lap
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
