The birds are singing to one another now, They do not sing to us, But we are listening.

What Sacred Spectres are These?
What sacred spectres are these, What sacred spectres are these, To whom you call out to when down on your knees, Whom you wish to appease, With your chants and your pleas, Whose visage you accept without question, Without sight Faithfully?
