lyrics

The desert spans the earth, encompassing all I survey;
A hunger drives me soaring through the barren jaundiced sky.
No rain to quench my thirst, the rivers now so far and few;
No thunder but the storm of fire and emptiness inside.

(I walk on the bed of an ocean)
There’s no escape
(I fly in the mouth of a dead wind)
This bitter fate here,
(I sleep, in the dream forsaken)
But I’m never letting go of this talon hold.
(I fall when the sun starts rising)
And I might fade,
(I rise when the stars stop falling)
My body waste away,
(I cling to the edge of the yawning)
But I’m never letting go of this talon hold.

I flew too close to the sun; I tried to touch the horizon,
It was always just a step away my efforts were in vain.
And now those wretched ones have gone, consumed by their own vanity.
Those reckless days have been and gone and never shall return.
