Funeral Masque / Funeral Mask

from Hex Thistle by Breathe Stone

lyrics

Funeral Masque

Is it dream which wrapped me
In this winding sheet,
Or does this shroud bring eternal sleep?

Strange musics rise like mists.
Stranger singing upon me drifts.

By bow and arrow
Or bow and fiddle,
This song brings with it a riddle:
Am I dancing upon this grave
Or am I dreaming from within?

Funeral Mask

White like a fallen lily,
Cold like frozen beauty,
Darkened eyes both lilting
From behind your funeral mask.

The rain seems not to touch you
As you step so silently.
The slow soft music moves you
Into your funeral dance.

And I stand in shadows,
Watching from afar,
Silent and unnoticed
By you in your funeral mask.

Would you accept the gift
Of orchids pure and rare?
Angel feathers for your hair
To wear in your funeral dance.

about

Stone Breath Red Lion, Pennsylvania

Stone Breath is not new. It is cracked. Broken. Imperfect. Hidden. Weathered by the seasons.

We sing of ghosts and of forgotten paths through forest and fallow field.
