Lyrics:

In the dark we are without her empress light
In the dark we are without a light
Half asleep we're calmly waiting through her night
Half asleep we wait 'til she arrives
Clouds of birds are governing her dark blue sky
Clouds of birds are governing her sky
A rush of wind is gently playing with their wings
And yellow stones are standing on her eyes
All rejoice we are in her hands
When in here hands all rejoice
Owl eyes her sun will rise and light the land

  • amazing

  • @neoliberalism breathy? I think not. I do, however, understand what you mean, but there are many more songs that are "breathy;" none of which I can think of at the moment. But even if it had been such, it shows that they're real people, and not some autotuner, call me a humanist if you will.

    They both get so breathy.
