The Harpy

Fly into the corpsepainted sky
The feathered arms of mystery

From these infinite heights
My shadow obscured

A soaring arrow of loss
Borne aloft by mortal hands

Bound banshee of the sky
Your luminous fury unfurled
Anima of the night
Alight from the chains of their world

The pull of soil unravels my journey
Falling beyond the pale

A wound that will never heal
Of flesh, soul and mind
The world I've known
An echo rising to the wind

Flying into the setting sun
My death is a leap into life
