The Burning Bird

I am alone in the light
The world around me descends
But when I stare at the bulb
The flickering begins
The shadows are heathens dancing
I provide them with the fire they need
I lash out violent rhythms on bones
I am the prism that create places to hide
I am the burning bird in the cage
I will paint a new beginning in my own ashes
The shadows are heathens dancing
I provide them with the fire they need
I lash out violent rhythms on bones
I am the prism that create places to hide

I set the charges and I ran
Into oblivion of the deep
I created fire with my mind
Everything needs to burn
I became the ember of the end
I made sure I can’t return
You made me bleed
Through hate I will heal
You are the weak
The end is mine to decide
The sun, the storm, the stars, the sea
All this chaos is what defines me
Lashing out verbal abuse
All around me there is bad blood
I'm dying and I’m turning black
This rotten place is cursed
I was never one of you
Through mistakes I am free
The sun, the storm, the stars, the sea
All this chaos is what defines me
You made me bleed
Through hate I will heal
You are the weak
The end is mine to decide

Driftwood

This life is like a wreck in the atlantic
Night falls and hands hold on tight
The water’s cold, the body’s numb
No horizon, no direction, just the deep
We are just driftwood
The tide of time decides where we go
The lights shine under the surface
It’s beautiful even though we’re going down
The water’s gold, the mind is gone
The seaweed will cradle our grave
We are just driftwood
The tide of time decides where we go

Sun Drops Below

Poison ivy blooms in the mouth
A violent river tears the heart in two
By polar light the day is the night
Watch the sparks as they fade in the rain
Sun drops below and stillness comes
Sift through the remains of what used to be
With illumination comes the blood
Wash the streets red and march on
Evolve and regress
Reject and rejoice
Create a scar to look at
An omen, an icon, a torch
Wounded from past battles
A shell shocked man dawns
Evolve and regress
Take the future and make it burn
Reject and rejoice
Let go of the hands and return

Sherlock Icarus Gothenburg, Sweden
Sherlock Icarus was created as an outlet for naked and heavy thoughts by Alex Stjernfeldt (The Moth Gatherer, Let Them
Hang).
With shoegazing guitars, introvert soundscapes and droning vocals, the music of Sherlock Icarus builds a moody sphere to lose yourself into and provoke thoughts regarding depression, life, death and love.
