Starry Day

And now the final curtain Turn your eyes up to the light She with venom tongue, moves oceans Pulls you out into the fight And here you lie with belly open With the lions round the flame Who, with tender jaw unbroken Drag you out into the plains On that starry day On that starry day Iron melted into ivy Take your body to the land Pile the small upon the mighty Bring the moon down where you stand Backwards now you dance to freedom Lift your gutted lungs and sing Break you now into the season Lift your gutted lungs and sing On that starry day On that starry day You kiss ground and hear it rumble You find beauty in the nerve See the proud bow to the humble And sink their feet into the earth Backwards now with blade and beacon Lift your gutted lungs and sing Break you now into the season Lift your gutted lungs and sing On that starry day On that starry day
