Preybirds (Watcher Song)

Birds of prey spiral around my head
They hiss songs of your birth, they caw visions of death
I’ve watched it happen again and again, haunted by
A thousand kind beginnings and a thousand bloodied ends
I shouldn’t play with fate
But what if once, I could make you safe?

So while you think you’re alone, you cast two shadows down the road
Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones
The two red suns in the sky blink, my pity-filled eyes
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
If you’d just look up, I could be your guide
Why can’t I catch your eye how you’ve caught tens of mine

Eye in the Sun
You’re all I see
Why don’t you look at me?
(I'm the embers bright)
(Flitting lightning flies)
(Blinks my eye in the Sun)
(In the hints of split sky)
(I'm the dying fire)
(In the birthing light)
(And I’ll break every bind)
(That I'm blighted by)

You’re blind to all my warning cries
When I speak in dust devils, crop circles, flocks of mayflies
So I’ve no choice but to come down
Pardon my steps shaking the ground

So while you think you’re alone, you cast two shadows down the road
Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones
The two red suns in the sky blink, my pity-filled eyes
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
But the birds on my shoulders prepare for a feast
You can taste it in the air, the soon-to-be dead meat

Eye in the Sun
You’re all I see
Why don’t you look at me?
My breath heaves down your nape, wrestlin’ you ‘way, but I'm too late

A body rests, dagger in chest
The heart in your hands drips, as its soul crawls from splintered ribs
To eclipse my head and beg again
For revenge
Oh, you may think you’re alone if you hide from the shadows
You can bury bones but not the souls

And two red suns in the sky will be the light to build your pyre
They’re my blank and pitiless eyes
Every death birthes a bird to this wretched flock
Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch

Catastrophe
Repeat until
You look at me
(So while you think you’re alone, you cast two shadows down the road)
(Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones)
Look at me
(See my two Sun eyes, feel my slow moving thighs)
(Tumbling dust in a dimming tide)
One day I’ll come reckoning
(Hear the squabble angry caws of our wretched flock)
(Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch)
Wearing the feathers of our souls as wings
Catastrophe

Look at me
Look at me
(I'm the embers bright)
(Flitting lightning flies)
(Blinks my eye in the Sun)
(In the hints of split sky)
(I'm the dying fire)
(In the birthing light)
(And I’ll break every bind)
(That I'm blighted by)
(Embers bright)
(Flitting lightning flies)
(Blinks my eye in the Sun)
(In the hints of split sky)
(I'm the dying fire)
(In the birthing light)
(And I’ll-)
