Windswept Songtext
von Sol Ether

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

All extrinsic value extinguished
Erosion claims like and inverse tide
Taken away - like the dust - we are

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
