I hold my hands out to you,
Oh sweet terrible one
Terrifying love...
Coming up over you now,
There's nothing can stop that now
Terrifying love…
You held such beauty,
Oh how we watched you,
We watched you travel,
You traveled over these bodies,
Bodies of water,
We watched you prepare for your journey,
We knew you’d be leaving
This body,
Your body,
Oh how you traveled to spiraling cathedrals,
High mountain tops and times of old
Black Owls, Owls and Spiders
All in your head
Black Owls, Owls and Spiders
All over your body
You spoke in Tongues of Old,
Tongues of Old,
You called us,
You called all of your children to your bedside,
You held us,
You held us over your body
You called the Mothers,
All of the Mothers,
Mothers, Mothers….
They floated beside us,
Over your body,
Over our bodies
Black Owls, Owls and Spiders
All in your head
Black Owls, Owls and Spiders
All over your body
We bathed you,
We knew you’d be leaving this place,
Believe me,
Oh believe me we will all be leaving
This plane,
Your face as you listened to birds,
Two spiders in the window.
Casting spells of protection for all your children,
We held you,
All of your beauty was terrifying,
This Love.
Then you left your body,
We held each other and said our farewell to our Mother Earth.
Then we spread flowers over your body,
Over your eyes,
Light all around,
Drumbeat of heart wood in rhythmic sound,
We watched them carry away your body,
Away with your body
We mourned, we still mourn.
Now you’re a flower in my garden,
In our gardens
Black Owls, Owls and Spiders
All in your head
Black Owls, Owls and Spiders
All in our hearts...

This Mortal Coil

Take me to the Mountain
My blood and bones belong
Spirit, open
This Mortal Coil
Unwinding, awaiting you there,
In the darkness, unwinding
A place that cannot be seen
But is felt hanging there
And will be forever
Forever in the ether
Longing for whats long past
Wanting whats long gone
For nothing lasts
It will pass
Everything fades
Before it turns to black
Be with me here now
By the fireside
This isn’t meant to last
Embrace me now
Before our blood dries
And our bones turn to dust
For nothing lasts
Nothing lasts
Before i lay my bones barren
Be with me here and now
