Sky Burial lyrics

Artist  : Aurora Borealis 
Song : Sky Burial
 

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
