lyrics

Planets move and brows are smoothed
and night leaks from the sky
Spiders glance and moth wings’ dance, dew leaves begin to dry

Rise up, fall down above clock faces' rigid regime
Marking your graceful glide, units of sixty degrees

One thousand planets shake
One million atoms break
You outpace the wind, all other terrors will bend

Unrelenting as the sea
But will you find me, O Star from the East?
O Glowing Hunter, O Lover of Beasts...

Rend the skin and bend the bones
dust rusted webs and fray
Light, breathe through the ladder rungs of this brittled frame

I’m rendered by shapes and a shadow that's softer than snow
undone, immobilized, only one life left to go
Handshakes that obligate
I'm mute till it's too late
I'm felled by the breeze that gently kisses the trees

So kill me, O Lion, mend me, O Lamb
Purge me, submerge me, oh destroy the dam

One thousand planets shake
One million atoms break
You outpace the wind, all other terrors will bend

Unrelenting as the sea
But will you find me, O Star from the East?
