Dead Can Dance Severance Lyrics

Severance Lyrics

Severance...
                        the birds of leaving call to us
                               yet here we stand
                        endowed with the fear of flight

                                  Overland...
                     the winds of change consume the land
                                while we remain
                       in the shadow of summers now past

                        When all the leaves have fallen
                              and turned to dust
                                will we remain
                          entrenched within our ways?

                                Indifference...
                  the plague what moves throughout this land
                                  Omen signs
                       in the shapes of things to come.

                      Tomorrow's child is the only child
                      tomorrow's child is the only child

                                (Serpent's Egg)
