Mortal Bones Lyrics by The Well

Samsara

2014

[Verse 1]
Danced through the sky
Bathed by atomic light
Higher that they climbed
Quicker that they died
By a mountain made by man
Comes a flame from the sand
[Verse 2]
On the ground below
Stood the kin of the crow
Casting mortal bones
Destiny unfolds
Seated on a mountaintop
Born of fire, living god
[Verse 3]
Out in the fields
Before Isis they kneeled
Unsung god from mars
May you sleep beneath the stars
Bowed before an empty throne
Human race now alone
