Dangerous Diamonds
Who watches the snowy owl
In the rare winter's sun
Knows the breath-taking precision
Of an assassin
Who crosses the frozen lake
Wary of step
Knows the surface groans underfoot
Where a pale, blue face, lifeless says:
Strange days lie up ahead they've just been playing dead
What is done can not be undone
What follows the northern lights
Dangerous diamonds
Knows the sky is a great abyss
Opening, swallowing us all
Strange days shiver and shimmer in deep reverie
What is done can not be undone
Climb higher north towards the dangerous diamonds
Hands shake bones break the bells are ringing
The air is thinning
Who watches the snowy owl
In the rare winter's sun
Knows the rabbit can only hide
Some threats can not be outrun
