Lyrics:

Verse:
From the dusty mesa, her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote

Chorus:
She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun,
And when I touched her skin, my fingers ran with blood.

Verse:
In the hushing dusk, under a swollen silver moon,
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom.

Chorus:
And strange hands halted me; the looming shadows danced.
I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand.

Verse:
When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold,
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones.

Chorus & Outtro:
And rise with me forever across the silent sand,
And the stars will be your eyes and the wind will be my hands.
