Sky Burial Lyrics
This is not a tragic end but a new beginning to start againLet us gather ceremony commence a sacred clearing is where we beginThe tools for this trade are small and fewRipping and crushing the priest is to doLife's circle has come to pass release the soul free at lastAs he sharpens up his blade bring the body here she laysLooking up into the sky the birds of prey are quick to flyDown, insert the blade deep withinTear, cutting flesh from limb to limbBreak, crush and shatter very bonePray, gut the corpse the blood runs coldVultures drawing closer still beginning now to feast at willHer memory now just remains all flesh and bones are carried awayLife, a tribute to the ways of oldDeath, this is a sky burialFly to the light her spirit flowsUp, this is a sky burialSave and preserve the top half of the skullFrom this we drunk in great celebrationA toast to long life and to prosperityA toast to this ancient archaic beliefLife's circle has come to pass release the soul free at lastThis is not a tragic end but a new beginning to start againLet us gather ceremony commence a sacred clearing is where we beginThe tools for this trade are small and fewRipping and crushing the priest is to doLife, a tribute to the ways of oldDeath, this is a sky burialFly to the light her spirit flowsUp, this is a sky burial
Aurora Borealis Sky Burial
