Be'Lakor - In Parting Lyrics
After one but before the next,In a tree where new life writhed and flexedTwo birds emerged to hold the worldAnd grow from feeble talons curledBut fate see them part that dayAs lightning cut their branch awayBy winds to distant places sentAlmost as if it all had meantThat though their bloodied wounds would fade,They'd wonder where their brother layFor every day from that day onThey'd wait to hear a certain songIn vain, for years, thought one was strongAnd one was not, for far too longUntil his bones and thoughts were old,And feathers burnt and lost and coldThe stronger of the two could seeA distant bird, how weak was heIn drawing near but knowing not,Just who he was, or why, or whatThe stronger talons tore at fleshAnd stripped away that feathered messAnd all without a sound or cry,Or even ever knowing whyYet as the sun began to sinkHe seemed to sense, he seemed to thinkThat soon his brother might appearFrom somewhere close, from somewhere nearConvinced this was his brother's fate,Above his corpse, he sat... to wait
