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.
