Golden Head - Windswept Lyrics

Clatter hushed by bone and fog
Sabers sprawled out near dead eyes
Limbs lay stricken, limp, and odd
The fire from veins, once fierce, now unmade

Where are my honey-wine drinkers?
Spent mind and hour
The crested tongue floating the breath

Lost to the Morrígan's tinker
Flicker: West
Invested in flesh
Words wrested, pouring from wounds

Windswept
Windswept
All ambition unhinged, plundered

Windswept
Windswept
All intention expunged, sundered

No tumulus
No memory
No knowledge
Waiting for the termination shock

Taranis ignited spears long ago
Lightning-stabber wreathed my brow with blood
The last one striving, I walk amongst my brothers' glow
Their births blinding
But now the sídhe draw the brights to the bowels

Windswept
Windswept
All ambition unhinged, plundered

Windswept
Windswept
All intention expunged, sundered

I listened
I heard the bodies of men snap like twigs

I listened
I heard the rasp of breath, throes robbed by breeze

I listened
The howl of the Nemain wracked the bloodied still

I listened
Fright gone, the desolation spoke
