beware the leopard (jagwar) - the safety fire lyrics

Loading...

the first washed up on the sh-r-
a body unknown
a last scream paused on its face

caught in the current
swallowing water
there is no bottom
as it pulls me further

the second washed up
a pair clutching
to consume each other
in an endless kiss
on a funeral pyre

we now fear not the dead
but their formless hunter
it lies beneath

the holy man says
this river’s bottom i’ve seen
muddied and decayed

broken bodies on the sh-r-
unknowns in the night
hollow bones of buildings
beware the leopard

what to do but swim?

they died twice
when the breath left their bodies
and their name was said
for the last time

a vacant house in darkness
where our lanterns couldn’t light
it stalks in there
where memories go to die
the unspoken ghosts

- the safety fire lyrics
