A Downward Spire Lyrics

Through slanted whirling clouds
A stinging nettle
Of weathered caustic stone
A downward spire
Draped in rippling crust
Scorned for its descent
Wrenched from fruitless spheres
Captive to the newly freed

Hollow rifts, splintered beams
A spiny shrine to contain the blaze

Nervous fibers raise the saint
Stand her on a polished shore
Faithful witness to the ebb
The dwindling hope of flight

Constant acceptor of the ebb
The aether does not comply
Cloudburst ruin, foundation washed away
All consuming wreckage from the sky
