Lyrics
Born on the wheel, Osiris
I was reared to pace
For father swept no kingdom
Dear mother vent no shame, but given a heart?
I'd milk my share as villain
Forgiveness'd stab as the dowel
Frond to frond through forest
Molten this leap of love
As father, I am risen
Dear mother returns as dust
If given a heart
If given a heart
Born on the wheel, Osiris
If given a heart
I was reared to pace
If given a heart
For father swept no kingdom
If given a heart
Oh, Shiny
Where you caught me, you caught me
I've praised such cygnets much better than myself
Along these lyres to wind, to perish on fain hope
If given a heart
If given a heart
Born on the wheel, Osiris
If given a heart
I was reared to pace
If given a heart
For father swept no kingdom
If given a heart
Dear mother vent no shame
If given a heart
