Heavy Bough Lyrics


They have come from the Earth where the dead do rest

Rising from the undergrowth, watching over your sweet eternal sleep


Thousands of years have passed by, reaching for the sky

The silence of a cycle, keeping secrets from a forgotten time


Sitting on a mossy stone

Carving hearts into the bone in the shadow of the elders

The heavy bough will see you though

The beauty of the old world Yew

It will protect you


They'll be your killer, and be your lifeline too

Destroyer and protector, the solemn giant will stand alone in time


Their twisted grandeur will open the divide, and guide your resurrection

Communicating with hallowed ancestors
