lyrics

She spread her wings and began to fly to another place, to another time, and landed safely in the lake and caught a glimpse of the day break; the scythe emerging from the sky. She unlocked her throat and closed her eyes and let out a note to dispel the flies. This boat will sink before it would capsize. Follow the star through the trembling seas, observing the power of meandering dreams. Waves rock the vessel that we travel within. Sun rays reflect off the face of the ocean. The storm rolled in after seventy years, and the swan and the captain found themselves in tears. With no shore in sight he lowered the mast; maybe everything that dies some day comes back. The atlantic ocean is a lonesome place to lose a mate for a bird of grace. Yet that which is over had never begun. Beginning and end are together as one.
