Note: I wasn't quite sure how to space this out since it has a different time signature.
This is as much sense as I could make of it.

(Also, not 100% sure of the lyrics. Comment if you have a better idea.)

The Earth dare not move lest it's whitened bones be shown. The air is still and even 
heat perspires.

But, high in the breeze there's another world that's cool. The silent sea belongs to Gabilan.

He drifts without a thought knowing not love nor hate. His liquid shadow cruciform below.

He has no compassion for those who crumble to dust, nor can he help them find what they 
learned at birth.

A hawk-- I would be up there with you but alas I have no beauty, I can only wish.
