Fucked Up - Royal Swan lyrics

rate me

Feathers collect from the milk and the bones of the dead

Expressions of lives passed away live on in their debt

The journey begins from the tail of a swan at the end

Tributes below colour spaces above and the Sun

The weight of the world is measured in cells

And specks that collect; the foundation compels

The ladders of life to correct and upraise

Reflections of prey charge the predators gaze

Wearing the face of the quarry it takes

The swan shows the blood as a mask on its face

Expressing the the water and milk in embrace, and the Sun

The flames of life extinguish and fire

To impel the distinguished beyond the expired

The spark is renewed as the torch is propelled

The swan song crescendo to bid death farewell

The journey ends with a swan at the top the earth

Facing the sky as the ultimate sum

Of the lives that it chose to survive,

And shine back at the sun

To take the world between your bill/

To leave enough and have your fill

To leave the water but drink the milk to be a royal swan/

To spin the wool with silk to be a royal swan<br />

<br />
