Shadows in Our Wake

歌詞

When we were trees, our fingers brushed the evening skies When we were roots, we rent the soil and drank our fill Now I am stone, and roots grow from my granite back Once I was free, and the hills they trembled in harmony When we fell, the seasons would change for me When we grew, the fires would dance a tale for me Shadows in our wake and tales of a time yet to come Anchored in stasis; a wick in a wax prison Once we were giants, our footsteps sang the crashing tide Once we were waves, our whispers killed the stars at dawn When we cried, the duchess of winter sculpted chapters of ice And when we died, the cascades of autumn leaves formed blankets of life When we were stars, the world thrived in time with us And when we dined, our place was set with gold and pearls Shadows in our wake and tales of a time yet to come Anchored in stasis; a wolf in a wool prison When we fell, the seasons would change for me And when we grew, the fires would dance a tale for me Gaia guide us, nurse and drive us We cracked the marrow of the Earth Writhe in silence, we drank the nectar of her youth (Solo: J. Wright) Break my prison door Unplug my heart machine and fly, fly, unfettered Daybreak dream-state Rest assured that you will fly when mountains blow like leaves in wind
