Lyrics Black Bird - Lux Interna

Black Bird

There’s a black bird
In the cage of my ribs
I can hear his song
All night long
And when he sings
The air it shatters
Like a thousand shards of glass
And I will open my body
But I know he will not fly free
Sorrow, she comes a courtin'
With her pale hands held in mine
And i will lay there
By her side
All night long
And we
We will walk
Through this garden
Of serpent trees
And i will yet dream
Through this night
Filled with falling stars
There’s a bright bird
In the seat of my skull
And when he sings
He brings the dawn to me
When he sings
The air, it shimmers
Like a thousand tongues of fire
And i will
I will draw him close
And I pray he will not fly away
Sorrow, she comes a courtin'
With her pale hands held in mine
And I will lay there
By her side
All night long
And we
We will walk
Through this garden
Of serpent trees
And i will yet dream
Through this night
Filled with falling stars
