A Nameless Prophet

from The Birth of the Day Pt. I by Domus

	/

lyrics

Intuition dictates that I
Wonder through forests grey.

I roam aimlessly listening to mount eerie,
Lost wisdom and dawn.
And as I walk past the branches and streams
I begin to understand these songs.

Die. Here in this forest you will die.
A prophecy once sung, and less now forgotten.

Through the lake harks a voice,
Echoing amongst the grainy banks.
Cutting through the ice in my heart, it still,
Poisons the bad in my bones.
