Fleet Foxes - Third of May / Odaigahara
Light ended the night But the song remained
And I was hiding by the stair Half here half there Past the lashing rain
And as the sky would petal white Old innocent lies Came to mind
As we stood Congregated At the firing line
Night ended the fight But the song remained
And so I headed to the wall
Turned tail to call To the new domain
As if in the sight of sea You're suddenly free But it's all the same
Oh but I can hear you Loud in the center
Aren't we made to be crowded together Like leaves
Was I too slow Did you change overnight
Second son On the other line
Now back in our town as a castaway
I'm reminded of the time it all fell in line On the third of May
As if it were designed Painted in sand to be washed away
Oh but I can hear you Loud in the center
Aren't we made to be crowded together Like leaves
Was I too slow
Did I change overnight
Second son
For the second time
*Music
Can I be light and free
If I lead you through the fury will you call to me
And is all that I might owe you carved on ivory
But all will fade All I say All I needed
As a flash in the eye I wouldn't deny All receded
Life unfolds in pools of gold
I am only owed this shape if I make a line to hold
To be held within one's self is deathlike Ooh I know
But all will be For mine and me s we make it
And the size of the fray Can't take it away They won't make it
I was a fool
Crime after crime
To confess to
But I hold the fleet angel
She'll bless you
Hold fast to the wing
Hold fast to the win
