Letra de Halo

The sea rose and fell The waves were crashing Thrashing a piece of wood Against the rocks The surf took it ashore A strange stick I found To pick up and ponder And turn in my hands A white raven's skull Fashioned by time and tide And its gnarly lines Furrowed by stone I put together a halo Out of pieces of amber Carved my own marks With a knife of bone In the middle of the halo I placed the raven's skull Drew wings with charcoal Painted a bird in ash The bird took wing and flew A raven cried in the wind The images washed away by the sea Drawn by daylight's quill Embraced by the woods In the shadow of the twilight A sign lingered in my mind Halo behind my eyes Picture of amber bright Glowing with bronze I put together a halo Out of pieces of amber Carved my own marks With a knife of bone In the middle of the halo I placed the raven's skull Drew wings with charcoal Painted a bird in ash I put together a halo Out of pieces of amber Carved my own marks With a knife of bone In the middle of the halo I placed the raven's skull Drew wings with charcoal Painted a bird in ash
