Sunburst
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I come down like an eagle
An eagle from far on the sea
Won't you set me free.
Time spins down to a standstill
My hands fill with all I desire
I can feel your fire.
I steal into your cities
And pity the sleepers who say
Time can't slip away.
Light streams out from your doorway
Your stairway is waiting to climb
Then your sunburst's mine.
Sun is shining on her wings
Keeps her happy, makes her sing.
But her talons flash upon the things
She needs to keep her smiling.
Prey is sighted from above
It's moving fast but not quite fast enough
Deathly grip - cruel love
Take me to your sunburst.
Want to feel your sunburst
Sunburst deep inside of me
Want to feel your sunburst
Daylight creeps in your window
You know all the promises made
Cannot be betrayed.
You wait for me to take you
And make you a hunter like me
