Coracias -

Red ribbons and cold killers

Walk with irons and clay

Coins and spice and ivory pillars

Cold killers, halos fade

Ashes fall like snow

Its purity undenied

Shadows lie in rows

Steep and selfish, undefined

Blackened sand and blood rivers

Feathers fall like stones

Traps left by tradewind killers

Coracias lying cold

Last unreaching land

Lost undying world

Deign to raise my hand

Take my blood for your own

When they rowed away

Carrying all the bones of stolen kings

Their consorts burdened endlessly

They stole away

The crowns and all their legacy

The tyrants sing

And raise aloft their bloody flag

To fly again with falcons

And drop me

From your talons

When they rowed away

Carrying all the bones of stolen kings

Their consorts burdened endlessly

They stole away

The crowns and all their legacy

The tyrants sing

And raise aloft their bloody flag
