How wild the wind came in
On the day when I found out
Passage of the one dead star
Its black dust lingering
Seeping through to my lungs
I fall towards the skyline
I drown my sorrows here
In liquids clear
Time for absolution
How the dead birds sing
They're right atop my roof
Take my offering
My promise can never be undone
The weight of midnight
Replaced by the shadow of a sun
I hold you in my arms
And it's farther than you've ever been
Little one
Adrift in sacred vertigo
The name is wandering
Our neon epitaph
Time for absolution
All the dead birds sing
They're right atop my roof
Shadow of my shadow
Cling not to my grief
I am long left behind now
You are free
On the day when I found out
Passage of the one dead star
Its black dust lingering
Seeping through to my lungs
I fall towards the skyline
I drown my sorrows here
In liquids clear
Time for absolution
How the dead birds sing
They're right atop my roof
Take my offering
My promise can never be undone
The weight of midnight
Replaced by the shadow of a sun
I hold you in my arms
And it's farther than you've ever been
Little one
Adrift in sacred vertigo
The name is wandering
Our neon epitaph
Time for absolution
All the dead birds sing
They're right atop my roof
Shadow of my shadow
Cling not to my grief
I am long left behind now
You are free

An epitaph is a short text honoring a deceased person. Strictly speaking, it refers to text that is inscribed on a tombstone/plaque but it may also be used in a figurative sense. In this song I think it's meant figuratively to represent the weight of grief etched onto the vessels of ones heart after having suffering unimaginable loss.
