A Blaze of Feather - Raise a Glass lyrics
[A Blaze of Feather - Raise a Glass lyrics]
This is one's for you
From the back of beyond
Where the blind winds of rage
Tear at your tongues
While the sirens sing out
'til the harbinger comes
For all the faces that fell by the way
And this one's for her
Been told she's no good accursed by sorrow
Ever since she set foot on this earth
Well to hell
With what they said you can't nor could
You best fly bird there's a
Prince on your tail winter comes
With a fire and a fury unknown
In the shallows raise your glass to these
Years while they're ours
This one's for him
Beneath the footsteps of kings
Where the curtsying queens
Hold knives in their teeth
And the crackin' of minds
Besides the digging of graves
Burn the memory of a youth coldly stolen
This one's for us sat spittin' and hung
Love long forgotten in webs so well spun
That choke the songs we sing
So when alls said and done
Shit's the same as it always has been
Winter comes with a fire and a fury unknown
In the shallows
Raise a glass to the dark and the dawn
And this one's for the child
Alone and Afraid a voice never heard
A policy made with no care for the heart
In the body that shakes
From the force of these lashes in our hands
This one's for those
That weren't meant to stay
The heart you all shared
The love that remains with us here
Under the crush of the great infinite
While we all wait for the stars to appear
Winter comes with a fire and a fury unknown
In the shallows
Raise a glass to old friends gone beyond now
Under the crush of the great infinite
Raise your glass
While we wait for the stars to appear
From the back of beyond
Where the blind winds of rage
Tear at your tongues
While the sirens sing out
'til the harbinger comes
For all the faces that fell by the way
And this one's for her
Been told she's no good accursed by sorrow
Ever since she set foot on this earth
Well to hell
With what they said you can't nor could
You best fly bird there's a
Prince on your tail winter comes
With a fire and a fury unknown
In the shallows raise your glass to these
Years while they're ours
This one's for him
Beneath the footsteps of kings
Where the curtsying queens
Hold knives in their teeth
And the crackin' of minds
Besides the digging of graves
Burn the memory of a youth coldly stolen
This one's for us sat spittin' and hung
Love long forgotten in webs so well spun
That choke the songs we sing
So when alls said and done
Shit's the same as it always has been
Winter comes with a fire and a fury unknown
In the shallows
Raise a glass to the dark and the dawn
And this one's for the child
Alone and Afraid a voice never heard
A policy made with no care for the heart
In the body that shakes
From the force of these lashes in our hands
This one's for those
That weren't meant to stay
The heart you all shared
The love that remains with us here
Under the crush of the great infinite
While we all wait for the stars to appear
Winter comes with a fire and a fury unknown
In the shallows
Raise a glass to old friends gone beyond now
Under the crush of the great infinite
Raise your glass
While we wait for the stars to appear
