Bird of Prey by Darkestrah Lyrics

The spirits of sickness and death
Are tearing apart my flesh
The fiends of the underworld
Are scattering my bones
Those who reside in the black marquees
Are piercing my brain with an iron spear
The ones with venomous tongues
Are spilling my blood over barren earth

Then the bird with iron feathers gathers my bones
And sews my flesh together with her iron claws
The Bird-of-Prey-Mother feeds me with my new blood
And rocks my new soul in the iron cradle

And when my time will come
And when my light will dusk
The Mother will come to me
And spread her iron wings
To carry my soul far beyond
To the lands of great shamans
To carry my spirit far away
To the lands of the glorious dead
