    He draws near the periphery
    In disbelief on delivery
    Came child from the deep inferno
    Crusty head of dead volcano
    Heartless crow with brittle beak
    Wooden leg too schocked to speak
    Lilac dust of a woman's hair
    A wooden cross a paper prayer
    A stone where her body lay
    A stack of feathers a pile of hay
    A mushroom for an eye ball
    A mustache from the snow fall
    Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance
    Queens weave wigs with eyelash
    Trance music makes the fairies dance
    From the caves of snail shells
    Echoes the mutter medieval spells
    Mystery flows her wicked river
    Of thorn and blade and silver sliver
    Bending 'round the clover fields
    Their sapling stems don't break but yield
    Her pain inflicts no arguments
    Must learn to sway and un-arrange
    As earth she makes her final passage
    After humans long have ravaged
    Vanished with all maps for motion
    Upward angels last devotion
    One by one escort us home
    To leave the elementals free to roam
    To bathe in the last of ocean's foam
    To beach comb the nuclear debris
    Our plastic toys and our metal trees
    Once blew the pollen the feet of bees
    Now cry the stars when upon the earth
    Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst
    A lament be heard through all the cosmos
    Of the dying planet with fallen foes

    Bianca sounds nothing like Bjork. She may have the most unique voice since Bjork, but is in a different world. Cocorosie are awesome and have opened my mind to music like no one in recent years.

      She sounds similar to Joanna Newsom, I think? If I spelled that right..

      very proto-grimes, though... but as a huge bjork fan i will say they have a similar voice cadence
