Deadly Diminuendo

(album: The Cause Of Shipwreck - 2021)

There lies my body
With holes where my eyes should have been
Eaten by the alpine choughs
They've taken my soul to the skies above

Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain

It is calling me home
And so through pine trees, I roam
Blinded by the alpine choughs
They've taken my humanity to the skies above

Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain

I am listening to your still lingering echo
While you're slowly fading away
A deadly diminuendo
And then silence, silence

With your vertigo-inducing peaks
Where I can hear the echoes shriek
As if they are still falling
You're making me weak in the knees
I wonder, will they ever reach the ground beneath?

Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain

I am listening to your still lingering echo
While you're slowly fading away
A deadly diminuendo
And then silence, silence
