Falcon rise— yellow racing eyes, Blue wraith that rakes the skies, Never has one fared such beauty, Airs naught wholly bright as thee. Is there a kneel for end of days— Songs, deeds for those who prey? Is there light breaking pied wings, Or is heaven overlord to all things? Sun spots feathering coated crest, Talons top spires mountain breast, When rivers of the wind fail all fowl, What grace and splendour in a cowl? Is there a psalm in the wailing winds, A hymn that carries all innocent sins, Or a fable, blue as stupendous skies, A truest place where redemption lies? The sea slides with lost ocean birds And blue wings coast, row unheard, Edging the skies with razors' tinge, Seeding the immortal spark begins. Falcon rise— yellow racing eyes, Blue wraith that rakes the skies, Never has one fared such beauty, Naught airs wholly bright as thee.

The Falcon
Falcon rise— yellow racing eyes, Blue wraith that rakes the skies, Never has one fared such beauty, Airs naught wholly bright as thee. Is there a kneel for end of days— Songs, deeds for those who prey? Is there light breaking pied wings, Or is heaven overlord to all things? Sun spots feathering coated crest, Talons top spires mountain breast, When rivers of the wind fail all fowl, What grace and splendour in a cowl? Is there a psalm in the wailing winds, A hymn that carries all innocent sins, Or a fable, blue as stupendous skies, A truest place where redemption lies? The sea slides with lost ocean birds And blue wings coast, row unheard, Edging the skies with razors' tinge, Seeding the immortal spark begins. Falcon rise— yellow racing eyes, Blue wraith that rakes the skies, Never has one fared such beauty, Naught airs wholly bright as thee.
