Dead Star - King Buffalo

Under a darkening sky

A floundering albatross fluttering by

Sullen and closing its eye

Tumbling downward it falters and dies

Solemnly fading to stone

Dead star calling it home

Bound to a withering star

Burdened with anchors of feather and bone

Dimming and wilting to gray

Crumbling slowly and breaking away

Solemnly fading to stone

Dead star calling you home

Eager and green, you stripped everything

Cut to the bone, and left it to bleed

Drowning in dust, you’re standing alone

Wasting away, dying

Dead star calling me home
