Redhead Owl

from Unworthy of a Man's Name by Blackmail

/

lyrics

On the stone, stone cold ground
I was lying exhausted
Got lost, lost at last
In search for heavenly medicine
Mad vultures flew
Above the silent body
They took me up high
And in that journey they told me:
“Beyond those hills there is a forest
Inhabited by magic bird
Spend your time just to find her
And peace of mind is to unfold”

Above the endless wood
Their claw has weakened
Thousands, thousands of blades
The branches managed to hurt me
I fell and turned off
Beheld the coloured dreams
All shades, shades of red
I woke up under the tree...

Redhead owl – I was amazed
Magic bird, but she sounded weird
Redhead owl – driven me crazed
Chanting again... and again!

I’ve heard a magic song
Raised my head... and saw
A redhead owl – on the highest top
She was beautiful
But her song sounded strange
I believed in what I need
And climbed up the tree

Never thought of consequences
I believed in what I need!
Never mind the time to find her
I climbed up to the tree

Redhead owl – I was amazed
Magic bird, but she sounded weird
Redhead owl – driven me crazed
Chanting again... and again!

Now it’s getting dark
The more I used to crawl up –
The more she used to sing it loud and clear
I am on the edge
I wished to catch her,
take her in my hands.
I decided to make my final step
But it frightened her
She’s turned her back and flown away
And I am... under the tree again
Through the leaves like blades
I fell on the ground
Shattered and cannot move my limbs

Paralyzed... distorted face... I’m left alone
No wish to go ahead again
In quest for useless medicine
All that remains – is to lie in the forest’s maze

Just watching how the redhead owl appears to flee
Away beyond – from good and bad
That’s quickly burying your dreams
