lyrics

Throw water in the fire
and lay me down to rest

Put out the flames with your bare hands
Gently on my chest

Like a love knife
Putting to sleep my only friend
Like a love knife
Putting to sleep my only friend

The serpent with a kiss
Firmly on my lips

Like water into wine, diluting its life
drinking this tamed hurricane

A poison bite
Awakening my only friend
A poison bite
Awakening my only friend

The wounds of our lust
Bleeding memories in vain

The wounds of our past
Bleeding memories in pain

Like a love knife
Putting to sleep my only friend
Like a love knife
Awakening dreams of hurricanes

A blue bird in the forest swept away by a stream of rage
A dark horse in the distance galloping fiercely to nowhere safe
The owl of wisdom stays silent with much to say
The serpent of our past loses its scales and crawls away

And all at once,
Stare as the black bird rises
And all at once,
Stare as the black bird rises

black bird rising
black bird rising
black bird rising
black bird rising

Dark clouds fall to the sky and scorch the bright moonlight
Storm pierces though the skin like vicious claws for prey
Thunder reaches the ground like electric blinding fire
The hurricane then lifts it all into a circling pit of grey

Stare through the eye of the storm
As the black bird rises
Stare through the eye of the storm
As the black bird rises

black bird rising
black bird rising
black bird rising
black bird rising

Through this blue bird hurricane
The black bird rises
Through this blue bird hurricane
The black bird rises

black bird rising
black bird rising

The hurricane's destruction to the end of the horizon
Deafening silence through this land, invincible wall obstruction
Handshake between nature and man, pave a way to new beginnings
Fear lends its way to rising new meanings

Through this blue bird hurricane
black bird rises
Through this blue bird hurricane
The black bird rises

black bird rising
black bird rising

about

Black Bird Rising image

Black Bird Rising Melbourne, Australia

I am strong believer that life is about the journey of creation. Black Bird Rising is yet another journey and this is only the beginning of that journey. My first attempt at singing, exploring something darker, more lyrically focused and experimenting with different sounds. I am also the guitarist in The Ugly Kings and Devil Electric. I hope you enjoy some of the sounds and stories here. Thank you ... more
