We had just pressed the shells into our bones
And we saw the queen in the sky
Gently revealing the treasures of her crowns
We took off all of our armour
Every last single drop of gold
And we banished the land
Lifted our bodies right up into the cold
Wilderness, in the darkest light
I called out to my brothers
‘Come join me in flight’
And the tears they did roll
From the salty sea, the rainy sky,
And the wide eyes the wide eyes
My heart it did swell
As the grandest of stars burst out names in the skies
I could see but a thousand
Of families and friends I had thought been long gone
And the thunder claps hands as I embrace them
And we howled out to every single last one
-Bat For Lashes; Wilderness
These lyrics were written for our Big Walk weren't they?
