Mistral

from Far Within Us by Nietzu

/

lyrics

Nothing stays the same
water flows over stones,
everything moves away
entropy enthroned.

One day you too will know
grief's embrace
and stray through
lost lands

half forgotten

opaque recollections -
they drift in like timber
or floating worlds of plasma,
through temporal portals
that manifest when you are still

Crows wheel above the epoch,
footprints on empty plains
shall be covered with
a thousand layers of dust,

Staircases shall burgeon
climbing vines,
a grin splits the cloud for a second -
we're still running.

Despite already being dead

A lucid breath hits the mistral
like feathers ripped from the fallen one,
lapsed convictions congregate
in the flagstone cracks,
ground into acquiescence

Under a giant's glare:
the fear beyond horizons,
the wolves kill the children
who wander too far.
That is our sacrifice,
bones of truth
forever.
