Blackest bird on lonely wind
Where ancient nights have always been
Your sudden call, a shard of sound
On silent daylight, newly found

And oh, your feeling, dark and deep 
Is more than secrets that you keep 
It is the night within your cry 
A titan shattered in the sky 

You bear a weight, it seems to me
Of heavens we will never see
You know the paths of lonely storms
And all of sorrow’s ancient forms

You land in silence on the ground
Your gaze, it holds the world around
It weighs the silence and the word
The one we lost, the one we heard

And all your feeling, dark and deep 
Is more than secrets that you keep 
It is the night within your cry 
A titan shattered in the sky 

A splinter from a mirror's gleam
A waking thought inside a dream
A single drop of pre-dawn sight
That pulls us into endless night

And all your feeling, dark and deep
Is more than secrets that you keep
It is the night within your cry
A titan shattered in the sky

A feeling, at the edge of sense
Woven from pain and permanence
Permanence…

Shattered in the Sky

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.
