While there is no place
Profane and justified to hold us
Or keep us home
Some greener garden,
A dusty pyramid of red stone
A broken throne
If you had told me
That you would never reach the surface,
I'd know you're wrong.
And we fall hard
Against the thought of pulling into parts
So what was our garden really worth,
When pretty soon it ll goes back to dirt?
Or so I've heard.
I thought I saw you,
A heavy heart inside a sawmill
Covered in dust
You're splitting wood beams
To build a coffin for your love
While I sat and watched
You finally filled it
And placed it in a tomb of concrete,
And sealed it shut.
And you were staring at my palms,
And wondering how I ever kept so calm
And as we grew like fire in the brush,
I knew we'd live in everything we'd touched
We saw the mountains changing shades
Into colors that we never saw before
What once was blue and green,
And meant so much to me
Didn't make it through the war,
And now's now more.
Clever thought provoking lyrics,
"You had built a new face, empty but awake, painted it the one shade you could never fake"
Beautifully composed. This is a re-recording of "His Old Branches" yet manages to feel fresh and important to The Republic of Wolves discography. I'm joining a cult.
Lets gooooo! I've needed this.
Strong release, Republic of Wolves fans won't be disappointed.
I adore the song writing, such clever lyrics on display.
Thought provoking songs with spiritual/occult undertones.
Now go on tour! I'm joining a cult.
Taylor Swift has three songs in my Top 25 favorite songs of all time. Twenty-two other people are tied for second place. This cover of "Blank Space" is excellent and has a good chance of breaking into my Top 25. bruce123
