When Serpents Return Lyrics by Cobalt

Eater of Birds

2007

When serpents return
Sing nothing with a cut off tongue
And curse me
Into the moment at hand
With your false love
See the sky turn slower
Drink honey and drown
As stars reappear

I see fire
Somewhere ancient wheels are turning
Antlers incense burning
Listen to its humming
Speck of ocean, forgotten tide
The serpents are alive

The blood believes!

Cut the tongue, steal the life
Pull its roots from deep inside
Pull its roots from deep inside
Path of recluse deep inside

Paper finger burns waving
Children I never had are crying

The salt of undrinkable seas
Calls those whose insides bleed

Whales fuck and call for me
All eyes of stone are on the trees
Cut the tongue, feel the phone
When serpents returned I was alone
