The Song of the Thrones at the Lantern

from Hex Thistle by Breathe Stone

/

lyrics

The thrones are crying and He feels their tears
Beneath his red mask, upon his cold bier.
Eyes of fire, voices of wind,
Tears of rivers smooth stony skin.

He crossed himself and he hoped to die
Beneath the clouds of God's weeping eye.
Circles of fire, hymns of air,
Spells of water weave earthen prayers.

The thrones are singing their hymns through the fire
And he hears their song upon his pyre.
Sing like the rivers, sing like the rain,
Sing unto God, sing for His pain.

His body's been cleft, the parts have been scattered.
His brother has hid them, bloody and tattered.
Some hid in rivers, some hid in flame,
Some cast to wind or earth just the same.

The thrones are whispering, He hears what they pray.
His skull the lantern which guides their way.
A head of water. A head of air.
A head of stone with fiery hair.

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.
