lyrics

Tell me why – this folding of the wings
From on high – the falling angels sing
As the ground – is closing in so fast
And their sound – like echoes of the past

Reflect the light of morning – that the sun is warming
I can feel the world transforming – a new day is dawning
(dawning, dawning, dawning)
In the fields, the silent songbirds wait
Folded wings, like shields of feathered plate
Tiny things, with hearts beating so strong
All at once, are bursting into song!

Rising in the evening – the last of light retreating
In the chill of night so freezing – the thrill of flight is fleeting
(fleeting, fleeting, fleeting)

For The Time Being
by Unharrowed

This short but sweet instrumetal EP by my fellow solo traveler is full of classic metallic riffing and colorful harmonies, reminding me of rad bands like Capricorns and Hammers of Misfortune. illuminihilation
