Fair Chase - Stolas

It wouldn’t leave me like it left them

Wait by the river, I’ll bring her tethered

I want you to survive

Bone crushing bone, the roots exposed

Hot on the season, sweat off this fever

I want you to survive

She said, «The Earth will provide

As long as you feel its grasp

Oh, nothing is had with promise of more.»

Let’s do it before she asks

Because the question won’t be in words

Well then, let’s tie her up, make this quick

Here, grab hold and I will fix the stitch

I kept stabbing at your chest, like diving in water

Your rib cage denied me, but I would dig harder

I remember every word

Stumbling out of that mouth

I had to witness the last fumes

The last fumes that your lungs soak up

If we let you loose what would you do with your hands?

We tied you up because if you had the chance

You’d slaughter every one of us

Would you let us live?

I remember every word

Out of that mouth

I had to witness the last fumes

I remember every word

I had to witness the last fumes

Fumes your lungs soak up

Winding down the cosmic clock

We wither when we grow up

Winding down the cosmic clock

We start to bloom just before we rot

Winding down the cosmic clock

We wither when we grow up

Dream within a dream

When it ends, we turn to dust

When we rest, the world that we seek is within you and me

It’s held like a thought and we traveled this far

Don’t let it go to waste

Find a way to leave this place

It’s held like a thought and we traveled this far

Don’t let it go to waste

Find a way to leave this place
