Roots and Soil 4:05 Lyrics: Thorns and Branches Among the branches With roots below I travel this path alone With my lover in tow Grieving in my newfound solitude An undesired and unending loss I thought the realm may have been colder before Now incomparable to this unearthly frost Bleak Heart colder than midwinter night I only hope within my hands I’ve the strength Hope Shattered like a skull on the rocks Effortlessly drifting away Screaming ‘til silence remains Thorns and branches rip and tear at the flesh As my footsteps carry me deeper and deeper Into the fog The path it narrows I can barely see in front of me Yet the glow of the beyond Begs for the corpse of my eternal love Footsteps carry me deeper and deeper I can barely see in front of me Lower and lower Surrounded by silence I begin your descent Lower Lower Among the branches And the roots below Now lay my lover As my heartbeat slows I struggle A shuddering breath As I lament for you Rest peacefully under the soil and roots I will see you once again Buried beneath the soil I wipe the sweat from my brow Shaking I rise to my feet Strength waning I mark the grave and begin to leave Each step it seems I grow colder still As though the last warmth Was buried with them Gasping I collapse I am not meant to leave Lower and lower still Among the branches and roots below Roots and Soil And I will see you once again Buried beneath the soil And I will see you once again Buried beneath the soil When you look for me Don’t look towards the sky We’ll be together once again Dancing along the peripheral I tearfully recount As the weight of the soil Obscures your voice again I couldn’t just walk away Memories call out from beneath Visions of you swaying in the wind No longer dancing again Recollections of you Waiting for me gray As I collapse and I wail upon the floor The rain falls down upon my skin A tear opens the veil once more My heart broken still beats in anticipation Plunging my hands into the earthen cage I may not rest ‘til I am next to you As desperation takes hold And I don’t wanna live this way My gasping breath now grows cold Broken shell with faded memories How could I cherish another How could I cherish another I don’t want to live forever Nothing will be the same I must join you again Under the thorns and the branches Below roots and soil Together now we may descend I will see you once again I will see you once again
