Born From the Serpent's Eye

[Verse 1]
Lend me your falcon skin
Sky traveler
Eyes turned upwards
Red eggs spill
Warships circle
Copper shields bedeck
Across the green meadows
Over the river teeming with spears
To the lake of stone
Where nothing lives and nothing grows
The many worlds below
Ungulate with memory and sadness
Through fathoms of green gilt enfolding
 
[Bridge - Anna von Hausswolff]
The sand glides from my hands
I take a breath
Look at that star
Look at that light
Look at my heart, cold and dark
Away from all light, the water flows1
Down into a depth, out into a sea
Down into a depth, out into a sea
Down into a depth, out into a sea
 
[Verse 2]
Noose tightens, hammer falls
Thunderheads mount the shore
Drenching twin rivers
Born from the serpent’s eye

Mother Owl, Father Ocean

[Anna von Hausswolff]
Look at your sea
Look at your sea (it remains)
I understand (it understands)
It remains (like in a song)
Like in a song
 
See how big a sea
See how big a sea (it understands everything)
Here I walk
Look at a sea
How you feel
Here I walk
It understands
It remains
