Salt The Earth
No stone to be placed on stone
Tear the skin clean off the bones
Leave a place where nothing grows
Never light in these shadows
The heart is a desolate place
Where ghosts roam in the haze
A thousand feet dragging through the snow
The wind is a lonely song of woe
Lick the wounds, dry your tears
Salt the earth
Cut the cord, close the door
Salt the earth
Clear the eyes for all things lost
Clear the heart of the biting frost
Clear the mind for nothing at all
All that rises must eventually fall
Burn the ground you walk upon
Drain the wells, all water’s gone
Curse the sky and curse the rain
Curse the land to be a desert plain
Lick the wounds, dry your tears
Salt the earth
Cut the cord, close the door
Salt the earth
Salt the earth so nothing grows
Salt the earth and leave it to the crows
Salt the earth let everybody know
Never light in these shadows
Never light in these shadows

One For Sorrow

One for Sorrow
I was a stranger
Walking through a strange land
I was a drifter
A shape to your eye
Whispering secrets in the air
Saying things you almost hear
I’m the one in shadows
I’m the one for sorrow
I was a reptile
Hidden in the sand
I was a serpent
Hunting eyes in the night
I was a nightmare
In the back of your mind
I’m the one in shadows
I’m the one for sorrow
The one in shadows
The one for sorrow
One for sorrow

Lay Down

Lay Down
Lay down on the ice cold ground
Finally I’m homeward bound
Eyes open so I can see
The world has lost its hold on me
Lay down in the light of dawn
I’ve done whatever to carry on
Last minutes, one last day
Finally nothing more to say
All your days have gone
No more days will come
For a short time the world was all light
Now that time has gone
All your days have gone
No more days will come
For a short time the world was all light
That’s all gone
Lay down, listen to the sound
of the whole world coming down
Ashes will fall like snow
And time has come to let go
All your days have gone
No more days will come
For a short time the world was alight
Now that time has gone
All your days have gone
No more days will come
For a short time the world was alight
That’s all gone
Lay down, let darkness take you
The ferryman sees you through
You have paid the cost
Now look back on all you’ve lost

Heart Of The Mountain

Heart Of The Mountain
I once knew a mountain
that grew from a grain of sand
Every year she grew bigger
Stretching out across the land
Every day she opened her heart
to welcome the dawning sun
Every night she ran with the moon
Until the time there was none
I've seen every sparrow fall
Let me crumble back to earth
Let there be nothing left at all
Nothing left at all
Can you see those diamonds
The ones she hid deep inside
Way too heavy to carry
Way too precious to hide
The hounds lay quiet now
The wolves sleep at her side
No one mourns her passing
All is lost with the unforgiving tide
I've seen every sparrow fall
Let me crumble back to earth
Let there be nothing left at all
Nothing left at all

No Man’s Land
I wear a cloak of darkness
a cloak of stars
I wear a cloak of moonlight
Cover all my scars
I wear a cloak of ice
a cloak of snow
I wear a cloak of winter
Live where nothing grows
I wear a cloak of fangs
a cloak of horns
I wear a cloak of talons
A skin of thorns
I wear a cloak of thunder
a cloak of rain
I wear a cloak of lightning
Storms feel no pain
Hold me down
Send me out
No man’s land

Time Ruins Everything

Time Ruins Everything
Time ruins everything
Rips a hole and shoves you in
Time ruins everything
Everything that has ever been
Every step you take
further down this winding road
Every step you take
As you shoulder a heavy load
Rust takes it all away
Time ruins everything that way
I would give you my hand
If I thought I could see you through
I would give you my hand
But there is no one left to turn to
Time waits for no man
Relentless in its passing
Time waits for no man
The end could be a blessing
Rust takes it all away
Time ruins everything that way
All the dust will settle someday
Time ruins everything that way
Time ruins everything
