Falling Snow Lyrics
The water pours its embracing arms around the stone
Decay drips from the uniquet void where the ice forms, where life ends
The stone is by the crimson flood, swallowed
The red ride beyond the ebon wound, contorted
My sacrifice bids farewell in this river of memory... a wave to end all time
Red birds escape from my wounds and return as falling snow
To sweep the landscape; a wind haunted, wings without bodies
The snow, the bitter snowfall
You wish to die in her pale arms, crystalline, to become an ode to silence
In the soul of a mountain of birds, fallen
The cascading pallor of ghostless feather
The snow has fallen and raised this white mountain on which you will die
and fade away in silence
This song is basically about the cycle of life, death and decay. The mountain is built of red birds (former living things) that have died and fallen as snow to form the mountain. The 'character' in the song is now embracing the same fate, to be frozen in time forever in the mountain.
That's interesting, because that's exactly what I get out of "Limbs"; I've never thought of this as a concept album before, but it is starting to feel like one to me.

I wonder if
"Red birds escape from my wounds"
is a reference to or from the movie The Holy Mountain or even just a borrowed idea. If you recall the scene where the guards fire upon a group of people and the tourists rush in to film and photograph the event. You see birds crawling out of the bullet wounds and flying off.

Seems to me like random epic pagan rambling, but who cares, this song is one of the best songs ever made in existence =D
