In Parting Lyrics - Singles - Be'lakor

After one but before the next, 

In a tree where new life writhed and flexed 

Two birds emerged to hold the world 

And grow from feeble talons curled 

But fate would see them part that day 

As lightning cut their branch away 

By winds to distant places sent 

Almost as if it all had meant 

That though their bloodied wounds would fade, 

Theyd wonder where their brother lay 

For every day from that day on 

Theyd wait to hear a certain song 

In vain, for years, though one was strong 

And one was not, for far too long 

Until his bones and thoughts were old, 

And feathers burnt and lost and cold 

The stronger of the two could see 

A distant bird, how weak was he 

In drawing near but knowing not, 

Just who he was, or why, or what 

The stronger talons tore at flesh 

And stripped away that feathered mess 

And all without a sound or cry, 

Or even ever knowing why 

Yet as the sun began to sink 

He seemed to sense, he seemed to think 

That soon his brother might appear 

From somewhere close, from somewhere near 

Convinced this was his brothers fate, 

Above his corpse, he sat to wait
