"Nightingale" lyrics

No perception of passing time
The words struggle to escape her mind
New perspectives to redefine
Birdsong awakens her from the storm

Shuffle the sequence of old paradigms
The rhyme and metre still misaligned
Another page lay burning in the fire
The ink and the feather hold their secrets well

Nightingale
I dream in daylight

One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravelled
I'm ever of the chosen
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem

Poetic justice arriving after all
When characters and places start to form
A sullen emperor endures his requiem
Can he live with this lament?

A mechanical animal
A dangerous game
That clockwork song it sings
Will send you to your grave

Now heed the nightingale's cautionary tale
Away, away, for I will fly to thee

One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravelled
I'm ever of the chosen
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem

One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravelled
I'm ever of the chosen
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by the totem inside

Dig in with your claws
I push my talons into your skin
Heal me with your song
You are forgiven for all your sins

Dig in with your claws
Sleep now in blissful anaesthesia
Heal me with your song
Still no perception of passing

Nightingale
I dream in daylight
Nightingale mine
See me take flight

One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravel me
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by the totem

One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravel me
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by the totem
