Song Lyrics

After the fire, after the rain
After the sacred kissed the profane
When you came and left again
Such a captivating pain
After that night I left my comfort
To find where your body lies
I'd wander upon this grave then fall
I'd fall inside

I searched the clearing for that spark
Hands sifted through the ash
Knowing what we felt was real
But some delusions never pass
So I took shelter in the woods
With the naked shaking trees
Deciduous, fraternal twins
We're both wilted, stem and leaf
Then the mist turned sleet into snow
My senses shook numb, I've nothing to show
But a rain - stained book that once contained
My literary charades
New blots of ink, archetypal shapes and shades
Bleed through each and every page
And I ask myself
What's the weight of my life on the scales of eternity?
We inherit the earth, we inherit the war
I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm
Oh how far we fall we're casualties of time
Oh how far we fall begin to forgive existence

Retreat back from reaching trees
When a frigid shadow climbs inside of me
That specter of recompense
It's a sound I've heard ever since

Amidst the endless mortal strife
And the constantly dying light
The truth we felt from the start
How can I hold myself together when everything falls apart?

We inherit the earth, we inherit the war
I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm
Oh how far we fall we're casualties of time
Oh how far we fall forgive existence

I wandered upon the alter of human intervention
An exhibition of erudition
Find me here, son of Man
How far we fall
