Falling Star

Oh, Falling Star
There you are
Sky spins into Time
Down into ancient Earth
Time spent patiently waiting
Through every single Season

Welcome Home
00:54
|
|||
Landed crashing
Right as the war began
Every new sensation
Sparrows, Trees, Powder
Trying to fix the truck
Trying to heal my Father
Burning through memory
Running out of water
Falling Star
Welcome Home

In The Cobalt Mine
01:50
|
|||
Dawn, wet metal
Mouth of the mine calls
Cole plunged into Earth
Ripping up cobalt
In agreement with those on the Mountain
Breaking mist, sun wakes Slate
Dark premonition
Strange groans deep inside
A friend enters the maw
Flashing light, scalding steel
Explosion consumes his gentle form
Down, cruel welcome
Dawn, wet metal
Syra weeps at the edge of heaven

She heard Death ripping over night
The fruit fell from the trees
That's how an orchard cries
Looking up
Dropships over New Castle
In the middle of the night
Framed by the window
Two ships had clipped in flight
The door kicked in
All went for their knives
A clouded sky rained men with guns and JP5
The fuel leak killed the dogs
And burned the children's eyes
Looking up
Dropships over New Castle
In the middle of the night
Looking up
Clarity arrives for her First Life
Grappling for his gun
Mom and Nika scream
Her Past spins overhead
Looking up forever

Leaving
02:16
|
|||
Woke up, many days had past
Broke hand, don't remeber that
Slate came, bitter kind of tea
Knowing her first lover was leaving her
She's gone down the Mountain
Back into the Earth
Given up form
Into Second Birth
Sunrise, awake but not all there
Tall trees hung with ancient air
Goodbye see you later Mom
Know I'll never see her face again
Got lost, panicked, full of doubt
Deep wound, hurts to think about
Time slips into Earth
And it's funny that no matter where she goes,
She finds her way
She's gone down the Mountain
Back into the Earth
Given up form
Into Second Birth
"Hey Sy how are you my dear?"
I'm fine hurting but alive
Flat circle, you know what they say
Goodbye, best be on my way.

Second Birth
02:05
|
|||
I, I don't die
I come raining
Mother of Limbs,
Mother of Time, birthed me
But you, you, I can see through
I can see that you're nothing
Nothing inside, entirely empty
Gunsteel, Gortex, hatred, fossil
What happened to you?
Up high on the Mountain
Second Birthing
Mother of Rain, Beauty and Pain, nursing
They are alive,
Following Death, sprinting
Widening eyes, all of this life combining
But you, you, I can see through
I can see that you're nothing
Nothing inside, entirely empty
Gunsteel, Gortex, hatred, fossil
What happened to you?
Crushed by a sound,
And the piercing light of living
I can hear their laughter
But I have Second Birth, fucker
All Time goes to the other place
Flowing, with every soul knowing
Up high on the Mountain
Second Birth

"That man shouldn't be here
That man's done too much harm
Green Moss shall swallow him whole
That's what we'll do with Steven Cole
August 10th, gone forever
Disappeared for all of time
Now we celebrate Lt. Steven Cole Execution Day
Wounds close but pain survives,
As we look up at the sky
First Fall coming fast
Since the war began
Cole's men kicked down our doors
But that's what we were prepared for
August 10th, gone forever
Disappeared for all of time
What to do with a man so wicked
He may not remain
Wounds close but pain survives
Lighting candles for those who died
August 10th, gone forever
Disappeared for all of time
Now we celebrate Lt. Steven Cole Execution Day
Wounds close but pain survives,
As we look up at the sky"

All Her Life
00:44
|
|||
Running, land bridge
Carrying gas
Waiting all her life
So vibrant she could cry
Blankly staring up
At the tracers in the sky
Deep, Green, Fox, Creek
Her eyes make out danger,
But she has not been seen
Silently warns Syra on CV
Back without a sound,
High up in the trees
Waiting all her life

Nika's Perfect Shot
01:49
|
|||
On all walls of Time
Hangs a window framing Chance
How mortal things perceive
Reality to bend
For Nika and Lt. Cole,
That's what this day brought
All aligned before taking her shot
Cole, warriors rage
Dawn on the Eastern Valley
Thought Nika scared
Bounding over lily
He didn't know she was armed to defend
Wide eyed and caught he got what he got
From Nika's perfect shot
Only so far people can bend pushed by evil ways
So the Codex of Living states
Too much beauty on this Earth
To be taken by strife
Not living to die
Cole, warriors rage
Dawn on the Eastern Valley
Thought Nika scared
Bounding over lily
But Nika had already taken up stance
Stunned by the Sun he fired his gun
So Nika gave it back
Cole, warriors rage
Dawn on the Eastern Valley
Thought Nika scared
Bounding over lily
He didn't know she was armed to defend
Wide eyed and caught he got what he got
From Nika's perfect shot

Rain's Center
00:55
|
|||
The human animal
Living Summer through Winter
Long path north
To Rain's Center
Whisper Damage, peace, silence
Nursed from the lake
Belonging to Earth
What did you take? Who did you break?
Walking, water, Rain's Center

Sacrum Mountain
00:45
|
|||
Once more, fighting with a dog
Losing them in Sacrum past a purple tarn
Last death, recognized the bark
Screaming magnet ripping through fog
Cold wind, scree ends
Once more,
The Sun swallows all of them whole
|

Last Death
03:39
|
|||
Peak, west, pursued by Death
Cold bites her throat
Days of evasion from a bitter man
Last Death
Two fell in the deep snow
All Live's memory,
Sinks into stone and ether
Caught crosswind, hit with a knife
Falling to pieces,
Whisper Damage lays beside her
Last Death
Struck by Power, Clarity arrives
Last Death, Syra's end
Looking up for the last time
Snow capped trees, silent, waiting
She finally understood
What had been gained from Falling
Every life heal dear, intertwining

Whisper Damage
03:05
|
|||
Change, gone forward
Syra slumped over the flowers
Gone, Whisper Damage
All Time, dying weapon
Gone, Whisper Damage
Fell Star, clouds hanging
Mom brought her body
Every trauma into the Garden
Gone, Whisper Damage
All Time, dying weapon
Gone, Whisper Damage
Fell Star, clouds hanging
Monsoon mixed with tears
Oldest weapon back to heaven
