Every Dawn I Fly Back (वर्ज़न 2)

Intro

Two shadows leave the high seat

One of them is thought

I am the other

Verse 1

Before the fires wake, I lift off his shoulder

The wind holds the door open for me

I count the fields, the frost, the names of the drowned

I carry them home in a closed black beak

Pre-Chorus

They say thought rules the nine worlds

Thought only flies

Memory returns

Chorus

Every dawn I fly back

Lay the night across his hand

Every dawn I fly back

So the one-eyed king can stand

Drop

Fly back

Fly back

Lay the night across his hand

Verse 2

The mountains forget the shape of the river

The dark pulls the stars down, one by one

He fears for his thought when it's out past the ice

He fears more for me, the one who comes home

Pre-Chorus

They say thought rules the nine worlds

Thought only flies

Memory returns

Chorus

Every dawn I fly back

Lay the night across his hand

Every dawn I fly back

So the one-eyed king can stand

Bridge – whispered

One morning the wind won't hold the door

The sky will stay as empty as a cup

The hall will keep its fires lit

For a god who can't recall why

Final Chorus

Every dawn I fly back

Lay the night across his hand

Every dawn I fly back

So the one-eyed king can stand

Outro

Every dawn I fly back

Every dawn

I fly back
