[Verse 1]
A dozen crows, and then some on the rhododendrons
In the cemetery, where I lay
Like Rebecca reigning over Manderley, my foot fell upon your grave
Like a pressure point, it ends beneath the soil
Down came sheets of pouring hail
I sheltered in a church, an arch within from the shards of glass falling so pale

[Chorus]
And I looked up, and saw the sun
It separated all the colours
And the ice, into my eyes
It fell and left me blind
That was the last thing that I saw
The fractured glass and its downpour
I felt the blood mix with the water
And I didn't see no more

[Verse 2]
I came across an injured dove
I wanted to put her out of her misery
There came no signal from above
No sign, no guide, I thought, "Whatever could this mean?"

[Verse 3]
And with my hand, I picked her up
And in that moment, oh, it shifted magically
For when her feathers felt my touch
I saw her a demon
Feathers, they turned black
Oh, she was no Phoenix, but a creature of the Ash
[Chorus]
I let her go, she hit the ground
I heard the thud, regained her color
Saw the sky, she had been bound
By someone, and left to die

[Bridge]
I never really found that dove
That's just a story I made up
Because I wanted all of it to stop
And I didn't know how to tell you
I didn't know how
Mmh, mmh, mmh
I didn't know how
Mmh, mmh, mmh

[Chorus]
And I looked up into the sun
It separated all the colours
And the ice into my eyes
It fell and left me blind
And I looked up and saw the sun
It separated all the colors
And the ice into my eyes
It fell, and changed my mind
