On the Nature of Flights Lyrics by Xaon

The Drift

2017

Year after year at the top of this tower
Close to her runway I fell silent on my knees
My face trembling so rapidly
That I didn't need to loosen my mouth
Everything opened inside me, everything opened and cried out
To all the absent ears see me fall on my knees
Free myself from these wicked winds. Memories that don't deserve to be
And I cried 'Mercy'. Have mercy upon me..
Skies adorned by Her breath. Have mercy!
They told me to get down on my knees
Please! Have mercy upon me!
Even if fortitude crowned my heart
Everything starts feeling weary
Maybe nothing is built to satisfy us eternally
Maybe we're nothing but pieces of cloth
Born with fragile fibers and the deadly winds only distend
The numerous holes that we wear. Like the robe of Saint Sebastian
I covered my face in ashes. And I'm left wondering on the nature of flights
If yours truly walks humbled and blindly
If it too often limps
You will not understand where I'm going to dance lightly
I left leaving them. They didn't need to lose themselves
Along her splendid hair, I felt them dying and losing all desire
They will not understand what I have to do
But I'm sure that they'll burst out laughing
When they'll find me under the greenish skies
Skies adorned by my breath have mercy!
Let mercy spread upon my sleep!
I will finally be at the bow of this fleeing ship
Filled with plebs of faces with no future
Flowing down this slippery shell whispering
Is there a land beyond this great ocean?
