Paroles de Never learn to fly

(japanese bonustrack)
(music & lyrics: daniel gildenlow)

When i was a little child, i once found a bird lying on the ground.
It would not ever fly again.
I held the bird up in my hands, i shed my tears over the lovely song that
Not longer could be heard.

Never learn to fly.

With dirty hands i dug a hole and gently laid the bird to rest in soil:

A wound in the tear stained mud.
My tears wore rain as i revealed the secrets of a tree.
A cross of bark to speak through wooden grains:

"never learn to fly"

I sang a song which i remembered my grandma used to sing
For me, when i was sick and laid in bed.
Then i cursed that day for showing me my own mortality
For then i knew that all that lives turns cold. cold and dead.
And now time has passed by beneath my wings.

(kristoffer gildenlow)

That was then i'm older now, but still i can't forget that rainy day.
I raged against the ending times, though some day soon my son will maybe
Find the tree i cleansed of skin.
No chain-sling will ever climb its rotten limbs.
And when the time has come for me to die, i want to lie beside that bird.

Never learn to fly.

When i was a little child, i once found myself dying on the ground
And now i'll never ...fly...
