Boneflower
Leif Edling
In skull forest shadows hang
Same old story, love is blind
Fools and beggars, kings and priests
A thousand corpses look like leaves
Come in pairs, share the wish
They go like one after cold last kiss
Dark-boned bodies from the trees
Have passed the door to the after-life meet
In skull forest light has fled
Oh, boneflower adorns the dead
From the branches lovers hang
One way trip to the promised land
Side by side and hand in hand
Nobody knows if dreams were found
In skull forest light has fled
Oh, boneflower adorns the dead
In skull forest the brave they hang
The ones that lost or the ones that won
To nurse the dream, to go or stay?
If you have a heart you go all the way
