Shearwater
Текст песни The Hunter's Star

The hunter's star
Burns brighter than all of the suns of the firmament
As through the sky he raged
With his hook and blade
And the world unmade

As forests bow
And blacken the air
As the canopies burn away
And the arc-light fades
And no gull remains
To repeat its call

Only now would you long
For the ancient boughs
The moon overlapping the long white clouds
And the home life of a love
Who will never return again

No child at all
Would wake to the light
Of a sun that is reddening
Like a robin's breast
And no lioness
Boards a last, great hull
On the waves
That close
That close
On a world
That will never return again
No sound escapes
From the night to come
