lyrics

Like birds on a wire
Watching the snow
Soon one will tire and
Fall to the earth below


Like stars in the summer
That died in the spring

A friend and his lover
Smile and take a knife to the king


The pieces of the world that I have won

I climbed inside a heart of oblivion
Shackled to the light of a dying sun
If this is darkness, brother I am one

Like blood in the river
That fades in the rain
Washed out to the ocean
I wonder if he was in pain

Like pieces of silver
Lost to the game

The familiar shiver
Of another hopeless exchange



The pieces of the world that I have won

I climbed inside a heart of oblivion
Shackled to the light of a dying sun
If this is darkness, brother I am one
