Pain Of Salvation - Never Learn To Fly Lyrics
[Japanese bonustrack][music & lyrics: daniel gildenlow]When I was a little child, I once found a bird lying on the ground.It would not ever fly again.I held the bird up in my hands, I shed my tears over the lovely song thatnot longer could be heard.Never learn to fly.With dirty hands I dug a hole and gently laid the bird to rest in soil:a wound in the tear stained mud.My tears wore rain as I revealed the secrets of a tree.A cross of bark to speak through wooden grains:"never learn to fly"I sang a song which I remembered my grandma used to singfor me, when I was sick and laid in bed.Then I cursed that day for showing me my own mortalityfor then I knew that all that lives turns cold. Cold and dead.And now time has passed by beneath my wings.[kristoffer gildenlow]That was then I'm older now, but still I can't forget that rainy day.I raged against the ending times, though some day soon my son will maybefind the tree I cleansed of skin.No chain-sling will ever climb its rotten limbs.And when the time has come for me to die, I want to lie beside that bird.Never learn to fly.When I was a little child, I once found myself dying on the groundand now I'll never ...fly...
