[00:44.552]After one but before the next,[00:47.451]In a tree where new life writhed and flexed[00:50.978]Two birds emerged to hold the world[00:54.113]And grow from feeble talons curled[01:01.270][01:11.771]But fate see them part that day[01:15.141]As lightning cut their branch away[01:18.302]By winds to distant places sent[01:21.855]Almost as if it all had meant[01:27.419][02:16.085]That though their bloodied wounds would fade,[02:20.891]They'd wonder where their brother lay[02:25.828]For every day from that day on[02:30.922]They'd wait to hear a certain song[02:38.341][03:11.517]In vain, for years, thought one was strong[03:16.637]And one was not, for far too long[03:21.443]Until his bones and thoughts were old,[03:26.511]And feathers burnt and lost and cold[03:31.553][04:28.212]The stronger of the two could see[04:31.660]A distant bird, how weak was he[04:35.161]In drawing near but knowing not,[04:38.165]Just who he was, or why, or what[04:43.389][06:51.624]the stronger talons tore at flesh[06:54.994]And stripped away that feathered mess[06:58.181]And all without a sound or cry,[07:01.368]Or even ever knowing why[07:08.134][08:34.260]Yet as the sun began to sink[08:36.297]He seemed to sense, he seemed to think[08:38.674]That soon his brother might appear[08:41.025]From somewhere close, from somewhere near[08:43.611]Convinced this was his brother's fate,[08:45.988]Above his corpse, he sat... to wait[08:50.403]
