A beautiful way to die

from I can't believe it's not happiness by Hraun

/

about

After reading Socrates's apology and Criton, Svavar contemplated the meaning of life and this one happy song actually made it onto the album. It's about one of his most beloved places, by his little creek in the northern fjords of Iceland.

lyrics

The song of the raven
Gives word of a haven
Beyond all that meets the eye
Destiny's kisses
Are misery's misses
My life like the water floats by

And it's curious
And it's lovely
It's a musical way to die
And it's comely
And it's holy
It's a beautiful way to die

The song of the river
Brings upon me a shiver
As I gaze to the open sky
A moment of clarity
A whisper of sanity
A soul that is learning to fly

And it's careless
And it's quiet
It's a stoical way to die
And it's restful
And it's tranquil
It's a beautiful way to die

Lie by the stream
As my life becomes dream
And the birds come to bid me good bye
The wings of a dove
Beating softly above
It's a beautiful way to die

And it's curious
And it's a lovely
It's a wonderful way do die
And it's comely
And it's holy
It's a beautiful way to die...
