Inherit the Earth
After the fire, after the rain, after the sacred kissed the profane -- when you came and left again, such a captivating pain. After that night I left my comfort to find where your body lies, I'd wander upon this grave then fall... I'd fall inside.
I searched the clearing for that spark, Bands sifted through the ash -- knowing what we felt was real, but some delusions never pass. So I took shelter in the woods with the naked shaking trees: Deciduous, fraternal twins, we're both wilted, stem and leaf. Then the mist turned sleet turned snow; my senses shook numb, I've nothing show but a rain -- stained book that once contained my literary charades: Now blots of ink, archetypal shapes and shades bleed through each and every page. And I ask myself: What's the weight of my life on the scales of eternity?
We inherit the earth, we inherit the war. I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm. Oh how far we fall: We're casualties of time Oh how far we fall: Begin to forgive existence Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Retreat back from reaching trees when a frigid shadow climbs inside of me -- (that specter of recompense) -- It's a sound I've heard ever since. Amidst the endless mortal strife and the constantly dying light -- the truth we felt from the start: 'How can I hold myself together when everything falls apart?'
We inherit the earth, we inherit the war. I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm.
Oh how far we fall: We're casualties of time. Oh how far we fall: Forgive existence.
I wandered upon the altar of human invention, an exhibition of erudition. Find me here, Son of Man.
How far we fall...
