[Björk]
My skull is my cathedral
Where this matrimort takes place
When I was a girl, she sang for me
In falsetto lullabies with sincerity

I thank her for her integrity

[Björk & Sindri Eldon]
My ancestress´ clock is ticking
Her once vibrant rebellion is fading
I am her hope-keeper
Assure hope is there
At, at all times

[Björk]
My ancestress has left all manners
Her pulsating skin rebelling
The doctors she despised
Placed a pacemaker inside her

[Björk & Sindri Eldon]
When you´re out of time
Oh, how you look back changes

Did you punish us for leaving?
Are you sure we hurt you?
Was it just not "living"?

[Björk]
She had idiosyncratic sense of rhythm
Dyslexia, the ultimate freeform
She invents words and adds syllables
Hand-writing, language all her own

[Björk & Sindri Eldon]
I don´t have that story in my mouth
When you die, you bring with you what you´ve given

[Björk]
The machine of her breathed all night
While she rested

Revealed her resilience
And then it, it didn´t

[Björk & Sindri Eldon]
You see with your own eyes
But hear with your mother´s
There´s fear of being absorbed
By the other

[Björk]
By now, we share the same flesh
As much as I tried to escape it
This is no mediocre debris
My ancestress this is

[Björk & Sindri Eldon]
The odour of our final parting
Those have been

The perfumes of separation
For centuries
The perfumes of separation
For centuries
Ancestress

[Björk]
Nature wrote this psalm
It expands this realm
Translucent skin let go of
A cold palm embalmed
