Listen to She Moves Like A Knife by Perturbator

I bleed for you
Indeed for you
I’d be the tree
From seed to bloom
.
I bleed for you
Indeed for you
I’d be the tree
From seed to bloom
.
I bleed for you
Indeed for you
I’d be the tree
From seed to bloom
.
I bleed for you
Indeed for you
I’d be the tree
From seed to bloom
.
Here in my core
Here within
I am one with the river
And sprung from the streams
Praise be the giver and keeper of dreams
Here in my core
Chill and shiver recede
Here in the corner
The red cedar bleeds
I am bled
To be wed to the leaves
I am bled
To be wed to the leaves
I am bled
To be wed to the leaves
.
I fly as I fall
In the steep of cool breeze
Every time I am lulled into sleep
My soul is a river
At one with the streams
For within them
I hold onto dreams
Of the kind only blind eyes can see
Thus I shut them tight each time I leap
Of the kind only blind eyes can see
Thus I shut them tight each time I leap
.
At the great gate
Is a lady in waiting
Familiar as quite simply She
Praise be this giver and keeper of dreams
Each vermilion teardrop
The red cedar bleeds
Is a piece of me sweetened
Appreciably deepened
Sound reason to peacefully breathe
We are bled
To be wed to the leaves
(To the leaves)
We are bled
To be wed to the leaves
(To the leaves)
.
Our chests
Rise and fall
In the heat of warm breeze
Two souls of one river
That runs red in streams
Of the kind only blind eyes can see
Of the kind famed herein we wade deep
(Wade deep)
Of the kind famed herein we wade deep
(Wade deep)
Of the kind famed herein we wade deep

.

Praise be the flames in the veins of the leaves
Fair be the air that we breathe
To declare every dream
To declare every dream
To declare every dream in our keep
To declare every dream
To declare every dream
To declare every dream in our keep
.
I bleed for you
Indeed for you
I’d be the tree
From seed to bloom

Chill and shiver recede
Chill and shiver recede
Here in our corner
Where red cedar bleeds
.
Chill and shiver recede
Chill and shiver recede
Here in our corner
Where red cedar bleeds
.
As my faith returns to me
I breathe the air of certainty
Of most uncommon courtesy
And marvel at convergence speed
With credence and determinedly
I face the demons girding me
And feel some way less urgency
Addressing their oppressive need to burden me
.
