The weight of vapour - Netherbird

In growing numbers

They head into the night

Familiar silhouettes

Of beloved ones drifting by

With every passing shadow

I wish I was wrong

About where they are going

And what they will find out there

A thousand throats

Screaming in silence

Slit speechless by her descent

The echo of heavens crashing

The massive thunder of falling feathers

One who does not curse death has not truely loved

If I had gods

this would be when I would have prayed to them

If I had gods

This would be when I would raced up to face them

I’d cut out their eyes

Just as these tears made me fumbling blind

I’d tear out their hearts

Just as they robbed me of mine and I’d cast them down to die

I wish I was wrong

About why they left

I wish that I could believe

That there would in fact be

Someone to meet them

Someont to bring them all home

A thousand throats

Screaming in silence

Slit speechless by her descent

The echo of heavens crashing

The massive thunder of falling feathers

He who does not denounce his gods has not learnt the meaning of loss

I have cursed death

And I have known love

I’ve slain my gods

Only emptiness above

Light like vapour I was drifting next to thee

Massive the weight as I took my leave

I have cursed death

And I have known love

I’ve slain my gods

Only emptiness above

Light like vapour you were drifting next to me

Massive the weight as you took your leave.
