Verdant Lyrics

Album: Verdant

Crawl between dust and ash

Crawl on your knees

And search for life

So far away from our hearts

Away from the world

What I can’t see

Inside the night

What we can’t say

Fear for our lives

Mouths open wide

(Of all that we are)

For toxic rainfall

(All that we’ve done)

It never came

(Is defined by the loss)

Never came

(The unspoken page)

Where are the others

Under the ground?

Mourn what we knew

Long lost and unfound

Our brothers hunt us

Even now

(Oh)

Set us free!

(Taken! By riptides)

We mourn the surface air

(Breathing noxious death)

The clouds overhead disappear

(In an unbroken void)

How could we ever know what’s there?

(No light)

What brings us down into this?

(No light)

What cast me into this world

That I don’t understand?

(No light)

You’ve left me with no other choice

But to wear the blood of gods on my hands

(No light)

Tonight we’ll snuff out the light

No one can take me back

Whom do the ashes avoid?

Truly we aren’t so far gone

(Insane, insane)

War left us strewn across the land

Stained our hearts

Our children live and die in blood

Chosen to fight

Abandoned by fate

Commanded by love

My spirit will fly

(whoa, whoa)

What I can’t see

Inside the night

What we can’t say

Fear for our lives

All for you

(You)

Founts of life arise

Have we finally won?
