Aurora Borealis Sky Burial Lyrics

Sky Burial Lyrics

Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last

This is not a
tragic end but a new beginning to start again



Let us gather
ceremony commence a sacred clearing is where we begin

The tools for this
trade are small and few

Ripping and crushing the priest is to do



Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last



As he sharpens up his blade bring the body here she lays

Looking up into the sky the birds of prey are quick to fly



Down, insert the blade deep within

Tear, cutting flesh from limb to
limb

Break, crush and shatter very bone

Pray, gut the corpse the
blood runs cold



Vultures drawing closer still beginning now to
feast at will

Her memory now just remains all flesh and bones are carried
away



Life, a tribute to the ways of old

Death, this is a sky
burial

Fly to the light her spirit flows

Up, this is a sky
burial



Save and preserve the top half of the skull

From this
we drunk in great celebration

A toast to long life and to prosperity

A toast to this ancient archaic belief



Life's circle has come
to pass release the soul free at last

This is not a tragic end but a new
beginning to start again



Let us gather ceremony commence a sacred
clearing is where we begin

The tools for this trade are small and few

Ripping and crushing the priest is to do



Life, a tribute to the
ways of old

Death, this is a sky burial

Fly to the light her spirit
flows

Up, this is a sky burial
