Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. June 11, 2016]

Feather and beak
A melancholy week
On the town
All the rain falling down
The solemn roofs in the deluge

The same home
The same home
The song within the shell

The open sea, anyone with me
Bewitched and becalmed, hardly even harmed
Weather uncontained, forever unchained
The flagrant delay between the night and day

The common memory
Where the waters meet in my world

The surging of the tides
The beating heart of earth
Only blinding light to bind me
Wind of kings brings all this heaven to the shore

Incessant ambition
Cognition of a thousand other worlds

The burning forest path
The parting of the ways
Use your blinding light to find me
Wind of kings sings
Wind of kings sings many meanings
I'm unsure
